We‘ve gathered the perfect products to welcome New York’s newest, just-born residents—a bundle of joy for your cosmopolitan bundle of joy!

This gift includes:

-100 First Words for Little New Yorkers, an adorable board book to introduce a little one to all things NYC, such as landmarks (the Stature of Liberty and the Empire State Building, sure…but also food carts, CBGB, and MSG), New York heroes (Jerry, Spike, Fran and more), and only-in-NYC lingo (schmear, schlepp, egg cream, and back to heroes again—this time, the delicious sandwiches​.). The witty content and illustrations will delight not only kids, but their adults, proving you're never too young to learn to tell your “fuhgeddaboutits” from your “Ga ’heads.”

-a reversible bib featuring iconic symbols of the city, like apples, bicycles, salty pretzels, steaming cups of coffee, and even the Brooklyn Bridge, printed on the softest, 100% organic cotton, ethically made in India and machine washable; 

-and a plush yellow rattle inspired by the vintage NY taxi. Featuring a melodic sound and perfectly sized for tiny fingers, this toy is a winner of the Mom's Choice Award and The National Parenting Seal of Approval, and is handmade in Peru using safe, eco-friendly dyes.

Whether the new parents are born-and-bred New Yorkers, recent transplants, or just city kids at heart, this bundle is the best way to welcome the newest member of the family—until they’re ready for their own subscription to The New York Review of Books.
