Shopping? More Like Shshopping!
Let's be honest, SoHo is more about designer labels than diaper bags. But hey, window shopping can be a surprisingly fun activity for kids. Point out all the crazy clothes and accessories, and let their imaginations run wild. Who knows, maybe they'll start a new fashion trend: "Toddler Punk." Just don't let them touch anything.
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.
Art Attack
SoHo is actually home to the Children's Museum of the Arts. It’s like a regular museum, but without the boring old paintings. Think hands-on activities, creative workshops, and a whole lot of mess. Just make sure to pack a change of clothes. Or, you know, don't pack any clothes at all and embrace the free-spirited SoHo vibe.
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.

Eat, Pray, Play (But Mostly Eat)
SoHo is a foodie paradise, which is great news if you're into sharing your fries. Many restaurants are kid-friendly and offer smaller portions or kid's menus. Just remember, pizza and pasta are your new best friends. And if all else fails, there's always gelato. Lots and lots of gelato.
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
Park Life
Vesuvio Playground is a hidden oasis in the heart of SoHo. It's got swings, slides, and even a splash pad. Plus, it's a great place to people-watch while you catch your breath. Just don't let your kids people-touch.
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.
