One of my favorite restaurants in NY is Peking Duck House on Mott Street in Chinatown. My family has taken me here since I was an elementary school student. Back then it was a dingy Chinatown hole in the wall restaurant but we didn’t care since the peking duck was so damn good. It’s got [...]

The American Museum of Natural History
If you can only go to one museum in New York, take the kids to the Museum of Natural History on Central Park West. This has always been a great place for kids to learn about the wonders of the world.
What’s for Brunch?
The Popover Cafe, New York City

The Red Brick Warehouse
Minatomirai, Yokohama

It’s a pretty cool shopping space with a very different atmosphere from other malls. There aren’t really any children’s shops in there though. [...]
