Father's Day in NYC!
Our rough itinerary:
8:45 Train from Hudson
10:50 Arrive in Penn Station
Take the 1 train from Penn to Canal Street. I think the first course of action is to get everyone food. The Stray Boots tours look cool, too - and they might help us get to some out-of-the-ordinary food spots. Next shopping, then head to the ice cream factory (65 Bayard Street). Then maybe relax at the Hester Street playground before heading to the Buddhist Temple nearby (that has a great view of the Brooklyn bridge!).
There are tours of the Tenement Museum at 3pm, which would be cool to go to - one in particular is good for families. It lasts about 1.5 hours, but I'm worried that it might be too much for this trip. Maybe the kids and I will come back at some point, just for that museum.

Montreal?
There's also some travel possible to Montreal, via train, though it's a long ride. 8 hours, doubling the time it would take to drive there. Same with Boston, incidentally - train rides nearly double the length of your trip. Not sure it isn't just worth waiting till the babies can handle the car. Sigh.
I have been wanting to be a bit more proactive on US history - and Boston and New York seem to both be great ways of exploring origins. Zar's identified Chinatown as a must, though she's really interested in the knock-off shoes. My mom wants to see the Intrepid, though I'm not sure I can handle having my mom on an overnight trip.
