NYC with my 5 year old grandson
I will be in NYC for one night with my 5 year old grandson. Any suggestions for child friendly hotel? Any suggestions for activities on Sunday and Monday in April?
Thank you for your help

Central Park with small zoo and playrounds. Museums of Natural History ( all kids love it). A ride on the free Staten Island ferry - beiw fo the harbor, Lady Liberty and great veiws of the city on the way back.
With a small child I would stay on the upper west side, which is a family area with a lot of restaurants where small children are welcome - esp if you eat outside of peak hours (avoid lunch/brunch at 1 pm and after or dinner at 8 pm).
For hotels looks at the Beacon - which has suites if you contct them directly - the Excelsior, Lucerne and On the Ave.

The bus is interesting as well, and we take them whenever possible. I think the slowest buses are the crosstown buses.
If you go Lombardi's pizza, which is one the best any way, and they are not busy, they will show kids the coal burning ovens.
Some of the best ice cream are the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory and Cones on Bleecker.
There ars some inexpensive but fin candy stores especially Economy Candy and the handmade stuff at Evelyn's.

There's a Children's Museum near the Mus. of Natural History that's good for young kids. http://www.cmom.org/
gocitykids.com might have date specific listings.
Newvictory.org may have a performance he'd like.
