If we'd had some goldfish crackers & juice, we could have spent a few hours up there.

I think this was about $275 for a Friday night (the price fluctuates throughout the week/season/year.) Tiny rooms with shared bath are available at the Pod Hotel for $65! Everything is scrupulously clean. If I go again without kids, I wouldn't mind at all sharing a bathroom.

Can't wait to try it out myself! Did the pod hotel have shared bathrooms only? or did your room have your own bathroom? Can’t wait to try it out myself!

Very clean and so nicely designed. The "town house villa" was very comfortable for a family of four, with space for a crib or cot too boot. Most of the other patrons were attractive young Swedes.

Walk over Bridge to Jacques Torres in DUMBO. Drink hot chocolate, ogle chocolate factory through windows, buy outrageous Easter candy. Subway back to Lower East Side. Steamed pork buns at Momofuku. Quick trip to Economy Candy. Shoot over to SoHo to see Walter De Maria Earthroom and Burton Snowboarding store. Head over to Hudson River Park and walk/rent bikes. Up to West Village. Other stops at Kidding Around, Bonnie Slotnick Cookbooks and afternoon tea at Tea & Sympathy. Hotel. Naps. Early dinner. Met is open to 9 p.m. on Friday. More ideas from parents:

Scootering along the Hudson in Battery Park City and Hudson river park. Great pizza at Otto on 5th Ave and 8th. Other tips from a local mom: Swedish Cottage Marrionette Theater in Central Park.
