Sorry the video is a bit late tonight! It took SO long to upload 😅I hope you like it xx

[@clarejohnson-graham]

Been waiting for this!! Glad you all had a fab time 😊🥰🥰

[@kaynathalam7298]

It's okay Emily, your videos are sooo beautiful to watch! I'm also a Mother to 4 boys! We both had our babies same time too. Mines are 12 10 and 7. And I have been watching you since I gave birth to my first born. Thank you for being the best role model! ❤

[@bethjohnsonceramics1]

"City break with kids" - I love the little dose of reality from Matt 😂. I'll be referring back to this is we ever go to New York!

[@victoriahorne7528]

Hey Emily, I’ve been following you for years now and it’s cool to see you in NYC with your boys! I loved your outfits! As a mum of boys similar ages this has inspired me to plan a NYC trip with them. Always love seeing your travel vlogs. It’s how I came across your channel years ago before Jackson was born. I’d love to continue to see more content about family meals, eating out and how you plan family time now the boys are older and they are perhaps spending more time with friends etc. I try to treasure every minute together as a family and it’s certainly adapts over time doesn’t it. I’m renovating our unused detached garage into a games room and hope to install a projector screen in there too after seeing your recent video. X

[@mrsemilynorris]

Thanks Victoria. These are my favourite videos to make!! THe garage conversion sounds exciting 🥰 Thanks for watching xx

[@lifewithelle.]

😆 matts commentary is so funny! You made New York look easy and fun and safe so thank you as it’s my dream to go to one day

[@mrsemilynorris]

We had a great time xx

[@KK-sl1nk]

Californian here. people eat, shower, sleep through a 4.5 without blinking an eye. we do get earthquake alerts , it is really helpful and kids know the drill to duck and cover .

[@douglasennis7291]

Love your family... as a native New Yorker it always makes me happy to see people enjoying themselves and feeling the extra being in NYC makes you feel. 👍🏻❤️💯

[@becky2425]

What fun! You really planned well and made the most of your time there. A wonderful city!

[@mrsemilynorris]

Aw thank you so much xx

[@robinlandtroop2774]

The phone alerts are helpful IF you need to take immediate action. Otherwise you just make note or ignore. In New Jersey ex Governor Christie described the initial noise from the quake as sounding and feeling like a bomb went off. You get an alert and you know it's a quake not an attack. I really had never thought about how the alerts might feel to people not used to them. The real worry is getting too used to alerts and ignoring when you shouldn't. There are also alerts for child abductions and "silver" alerts for old people confused and lost. Really liked this video of NYC. Haven't been there for ages and enjoy seeing it again. Thanks.

[@mrsemilynorris]

Aw that makes sense! I probably felt stressed as we don't have them and I am a highly sensitive pisces! I think they would be very good for abductions etc. xx

[@lilpie7474]

Love this vlog, I play this so often 😅especially when I’m doing something in the kitchen just to play in the background I love the city view and the cool places you’ve shown us Emily, thanks for sharing. ❤

[@sallymunley2824]

Gosh that is a holiday your boys, you and Mat will never forget! How exciting! Can’t believe the steam from the drains. I thought that just happened in movies. Also, Big is an iconic movie and love it too. Glad you all had such an amazing time. Xx

[@feigao8968]

Thank you for sharing your trip. Being almost a mum of two boys- one is still in my tummy due in a couple days😊, I am always afraid to take kids out for holidays. I never thought I would go to USA especially with kids but your trip looks amazing and makes me want to visit there one day. There are a few places I really want to explore there. Hope Jackson feels better now and glad dentist can fix them.❤❤❤❤

Aw congratulations! and thank you - we had a great time xx

Thank you for taking us with you to NY! Sorry to hear about Jackson, hope he is fine now!Being a mum of 2 boys- dentist one of my biggest fears is to have a dental trauma! But thank God things like that are easy to handle, really hope this would be the last time he has his teeth broken.Wish you better luck next time at your family trip ❤

Hi Emily do sad to have seen all the stuff about Ground Zero and the twin peeks . My partner and I are from the Uk but we were with his Parents and at the time our 2 yr old daughter holidaying in Myrtle Beach area. We went into a TShirt print shop and at the time we went in it was on the TV . We asked the Shop owner what film it was ? He said it wasn’t a film… and said that it was actually happening in New York on the news ! . Such scary and frighting times all round. I loved your vlog.

@mrsemilynorris it's my youngest daughter's dream to one day move to New York and run her own business in skin care. She's just studying her GCSE'S atm. Although she has a long way to go, I know she's going to be successful one day. She goes on about it a lot tho! So whenever I see New York, I always remember that. Hopefully, one day, she'll see her dream come true.

[@yoly507]

I'm in South Jersey and the earthquake happened in North Jersey I haven't felt the other ones because I was in a car. I felt this one it didn't last long. But yes the vibration and movement from the bridge is likely why you didn't feel it. Also earthquakes are not common in this area so it is a but scary. But the alert systems are to warn us to get cover if need be. We have them for tornados too which aren't common here but happening more often. So we don't have the tools like areas that are used to these natural disasters.

[@Rick-ov5jm]

I live in Boston and I felt the earthquake .. sitting on the couch and it started to shake like crazy.. then it stopped and then news said we just had a earthquake.. even have alerts for tornados to we get them also..

@@jessicaely2521 Yes… I’m a Southerner (Floridian) and anytime we go up North there is such a difference in hospitality & manners. My mother’s brother moved to upstate New York years ago, so we’ve gone up there quite a bit… but there are many friendly people up there also (like my Aunt). I feel horrible that Emily and the family had to deal with rude people.

[@tessatokke1551]

​@mrsemilynorris I'm so sorry you had that experience! Most New Yorkers are really nice and helpful! The standoffishness of some is really because it's a crowded city and people are usually trying to get to work or home. But there's certainly no excuse for rude behavior. I'm glad you enjoyed our beautiful city though! Come back again, there is so much more to see! Thank you also for visiting the 9/11 memorial. It's a big deal for our family. My father in law was a chaplain at Ground Zero and to this day can't go into the memorial without getting emotional and having to step out. My husband was 10 years old at school in Queens when it happened.
