Teen-Friendly NYC

    Entertaining little kids in New York City is easy—there are toy stores, museums, ice cream shops and playgrounds at every turn. But keeping a teenager happy is another story; after all, their job is to make their parents' lives difficult. But the City actually offers plenty of activities that could make even the surliest teens crack a smile and enjoy themselves (though they may not give you the pleasure of letting you know just how much). Take them to hit some golf balls, to listen to their peers do stand-up comedy, to peruse a computer store or to shop at some trendy hotspots. Read on for suggestions that will appeal to older kids, whether they're just visiting the City or they call it home. Who knows? They may even thank you.
