Moving to NYC from Chicago

There is a website called www.gocitykids.com and you can find lots of things to do in NYC.

Nutley is a nice quiet neighbourhood. We have a good library here with storytime and other activities for kids. There is a park, school and a shopping complex near by. NY is in the vicinity. 20 min. drive off-peak hrs. If you opt the public transportation it will take less than an hour to reach Port Authority NY. There are buses every 10 minutes during rush hrs.

I love living in Bayside. It is one of the best school districts in the state (School District 26)It is a 20 min. train ride to the city. It is pricey though. Houses are $700-800,000 for 30x100, & it will probably need some work. Has many parks with playgrounds & sprinklers. Barnes & Noble (bookstore) has storytime twice a week & The Children's Place (clothing store) sometimes does a story hour. timesledger.com is the local papers (click on different areas up top,will have rentals & houses for sale) nycenet.edu is the education website,greatneckparks.org is one of the parks dept. Hope this helps.

Hi S.. I live in Staten Island and yes, they do have free library reading time in NY. If you want to be close to the ferry to get to Manhattan, I suggest you try to move to New Dorp in Staten Island. Its not as expensive as other areas and its not that far from the ferry terminal.
