If Citykin had a mascot, it would be Megan Drye Harper. You’ve ain’t seen city parenting until you follow Megan’s adventures on Instagram. She has three of the most gorgeous kids -in a way where you’re like HUH, shouldn’t statistically ONE be kind of less genetically cute…but apparently NOPE.

And Megan takes those kids all over the city. No transport is too daunting, no place too out-of-the-way, no event too big or crazy. She navigates the city life with ease, hilarity and a down-to-earth attitude that will make you want to have what she’s having. She’s also heads up kid and baby partnerships at Jetblack so she also knows what you need before you even do!!!

We were so excited when she reached out and offered to do a guide on Queens (and Long Island City but we’re doing that as a separate guide). She is in-the-know on anything city parenting related and she is sharing with our community her top spots.

Without further adieu, let’s give it up for Megan.

Country Music Star Chely Wright's Sony Music Exec Wife On Same S*x Parenting -
"Almost all of my mom friends are straight and while they look at me and Chely no differently than their straight mom friends and husbands, it’s still alarming to me that families like us are nearly non-existent in our neighborhood”

For city parents, raising city kids

Cities. They’re big. Bustling. Busy. Loud. Full of offices, industries, art and commerce. But also home to lots of people who buck against the expected move to the suburbs and choose to raise their families in these incredible places. Some may call these parents crazy, we prefer the term warrior-like. Ok, and a little crazy too.

Citykin was created to talk to these parents with a simple focus on providing a great mix of content that both celebrates raising kids in the city, alongside practical (How do you navigate the subway as a new parent ), inspirational (How do parents in Dublin do it) and provocative (Are we selfish parents for not moving to greener pastures?). Parenting in the city throws up unique challenges and much of the content online can be at odds with city living, where large minivans, huge kitchens and sprawling backyards are the minority.

Citykin was born in Brooklyn, New York, created by four parents who felt that there just wasn’t anything out there that spoke directly to city parents. Where was our tribe of other parents ruining their kid’s childhood by depriving them of a giant backyard swingset?

Well we’ve found them and they are pretty awesome and we’re so glad you stopped by too. Welcome to this crazy city community where you need a certain level of tenacity, balls, determination, grit and a sense of humor to deal with raising a family in the city.
