Your Dream Getaway Is Calling

Faena New York gives a moms’ getaway a glamorous West Chelsea home base, close to the High Line, contemporary galleries, and the fashionable shops and restaurants of the Meatpacking District. Faena-designed rooms go bold — rich color, curated art, floor-to-ceiling city views — but it's the Tierra Santa Healing House that makes clearing your afternoon non-negotiable. Move between the hammam, saunas, steam room, and restorative pools, then reemerge (relaxed, maybe even recognizable) for dinner at La Boca by Francis Mallmann or drinks and live music in The Living Room. Stylish and blissfully grown-up, it's the kind of one-night escape that feels like an actual vacation.

Virgin Hotels New York
Virgin Hotels New York

Virgin Hotels New York sets the stage for a mom's getaway with just the right balance of downtime and grown-up fun. Its NoMad location makes exploring easy, while Chambers offer comfortable beds, dedicated dressing areas, and makeup vanities that give yourself space to get ready. Morning arrives with Manhattan outside the window and, blessedly, no school runs on the schedule. Ease into the day with massages or facials at Exhale Spa, then linger in the hammam, sauna, and Zen lounge (guilt-free — promise). Come evening, regroup over New American plates and cocktails at Everdene, then head to The Riff Raff Club for drinks and skyline views from the 39th floor.

Hyatt Regency Times Square
Hyatt Regency Times Square

Some family trips need a spreadsheet-worthy itinerary; others just need everyone to walk downstairs and pick a direction. Hyatt Regency Times Square sits right on Broadway, so shows, restaurants, and eye-watering lights are steps from the lobby — and the hotel wisely keeps all that sensory overload outside where it belongs. Rooms are set on high floors with big windows, city views, minifridges, and blackout curtains. Cue48 covers breakfast, grab-and-go, and New York-inspired shareable plates for an easy post-theater dinner. Walk to Rockefeller Center, catch a show, then retreat to a quiet room above the bustle.

Romer Hell's Kitchen
Romer Hell's Kitchen

Romer Hell's Kitchen gives families a neighborhood feel on Midtown's west side while keeping Times Square and Broadway theaters within walking distance — key when everyone's legs have officially clocked out for the day. Guestrooms take their cues from the neighborhood itself, mixing modern design with vintage details, local artwork, cozy seating areas, and views of the Midtown skyline or quieter side streets. Deluxe two-queen rooms sleep four; two- and three-bedroom family suites give bigger crews room to actually spread out. Downstairs, the Hell's Kitchen Neighborhood Café handles coffee, pastries, and grab-and-go bites before sightseeing, while the bodega-inspired Corner Store keeps snacks and travel essentials on hand around the clock.

Millennium Premier
Millennium Premier

When a family trip to Manhattan already comes with a spreadsheet's worth of moving parts, Millennium Premier cuts a few of them loose. Steps from Times Square and Broadway, this 124-room boutique hotel skips the check-in-desk shuffle for a welcome lounge and local greeters (a small thing that saves you from last-minute Googling). Newly refreshed rooms bring floor-to-ceiling windows, real natural light, and a workspace for reviewing tomorrow's itinerary. Mornings start easy with continental breakfast in the Premier Lounge. From there, you're a walk from Rockefeller Center and MoMA, a Broadway show is basically next door, and the subway's right there to head downtown.

The More Overlooked Sides Of ADHD

If you have ADHD, you might know all about some of the classic signs (inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, etc), but have you heard about the lesser-known associated symptoms? Even if you haven’t, you might experience them without realizing they can be part of ADHD, too.

For moms, that could mean emotions that feel too big or come on too fast (emotional dysregulation) or feeling paralyzed by planning, prioritizing, or even starting a task (executive dysfunction). These everyday struggles can affect relationships, family life, and your overall well-being.

Understanding the lesser-known ways ADHD can show up may help make sense of those “why is this so hard?” moments — and help you find strategies and support that work for you.
