Travel has the power to transform lives, and in New York City, the possibilities are endless. Afterall, it is one of the most sought after destinations in the world, with its expansive art and cultural collections, sporting events, star-studded theater and entertainment, cuisines from everywhere, glorious parks throughout and an impressive amount of hotels, all troves of new experiences. Season after season, the city reinvents itself, which means there is always something to discover. 

In 2018 our family embarked on a journey to explore New York City and make it our travel playground. My sister Annie uses a wheelchair because of her severe cerebral palsy, which hasn’t dampened her adventurous spirit and yearning to explore and experience New York. And that means learning what attractions across the city are truly accessible and welcoming nearly 30 years after the Americans with Disabilities Act became law.  We realized there are many families like ours who would benefit from knowing about our experiences and that’s why we created Accessible Travel NYC. We aim to inspire families like ours, whether they are local or global tourists, who want to plan and experience an extraordinary day in the city. With our authentic narrative that sets expectations and puts accessible information at the forefront, we hope to empower families who want to get out there and see New York, especially if they thought they couldn’t. Our lives have certainly become more enriched and we wish the same for yours.
