Motherhood in New York City is a whole different beast. As moms, we\u2019re not driving our kids around in SUVs and dropping them off at soccer practice. Nope, we\u2019re taking them with us on the 6 train and schlepping them to a hundred different birthday parties in a month.<\/p>\n
NYC moms are busy and always on the go, which means we don\u2019t have time to simply browse around the city trying to find the best products for our kids<\/a>. Another thing NYC moms are known for? Being super competitive and judgemental. Which kid has the best back to school items and which kid is eating the best (and healthiest) snacks? Yours, of course!<\/p>\n All jokes aside, the reality is that moms in the Big Apple are insanely busy, and need quick, easy, and affordable options to get all their kids necessities. Below, discover the best shopping destinations for NYC moms so you can get all your essentials, get to your meetings on time, and still be able to afford your mortgage each month.<\/p>\n Everyone knows Trader Joe\u2019s has the best snacks on earth, and with eight locations sprawled all over the city\u2019s boroughs, there\u2019s bound to be one close to your house. Stock up on cheese sticks, corn dogs, and \u201creduced-guilt\u201d mac and cheese for your kiddos. You\u2019ll save some cash and your kids<\/a> will actually eat dinner without putting up a fight.<\/p>\n When your kid needs a new stunning outfit for that bat mitzvah or next school dance, don\u2019t get them the same shirt and slacks or dress from Uniqlo or Macy\u2019s<\/a> that all the other kids will be wearing. Help them stand out with designer picks from Century 21. Find discounted dresses, accessories, shirts, and shoes from trendy brands like Gucci, Calvin Klein, 7 For All Mankind, and more.<\/p>\n For your everyday clothing needs, Zara is the place to go. The store carries everything from socks to bags and backpacks<\/a> all at an always-reasonable price. Even better, the pieces at the mega fashion superstore are always ahead of the trends, ensuring your kids will always be the flyest ones in the room.<\/p>\n Pry your kids\u2019 eyes away from their screens and let them browse the amazing handmade toys science kits at Park Slope\u2019s Norman & Jules. They\u2019ll love watching crystallized leaves sprout from the Crystal Growing Cherry Tree Kit<\/a> and your little one will let their imagination roam with the adorable Creative Dough Set<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sure, you could go get a cheap piece of furniture for your kid\u2019s bedroom at Ikea and spend hours frustratingly attempting to construct it, but remember how we said that NYC moms just don\u2019t have the time for any of that? Enter Pottery Barn Kids. This offshoot of the popular home store features kids\u2019 bed frames, sheets, desks, and dressers all at a reasonable price. No assembly required.<\/p>\n There are over 10 Target locations in New York City, which means you\u2019ll easily be able to find one close to you and you\u2019ll be able to snatch up all the school supplies your children need in a hurry. From lunch boxes to locker items to pencils, Target has it all and at super fair prices. Case in point: Right now, they\u2019re offering 20 percent off uniforms. Get in, get out, and never be burdened with shopping for school supplies again (well, until next year).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Motherhood in New York City is a whole different beast.
