Speaking of wealthy New Yorkers, the NY Sun has an article about the high number of twins terrorizing pedestrians in their double wide strollers - and the mothers who have the fertility treatments to have them - on the sidewalks of New Yorker. Gothamist would just like to say that before twins were fashionable, we were right there.

The Mayor visited the two babies (and their families) whose hospitals claimed them to be the first NYC babies of 2005 in Queens and the Bronx on New Year's. Baby boy Noah Santos, born at Our Lady of Mercy Medical Center in the Bronx, and baby girl Daamaiah Hunter, born at Queens' Elmhurst Hospital, both got new "Made in NY" caps from the Mayor, which got Gothamist thinking. "Made in NY" is part of the city's film & TV production incentive program (from now on, with a certain amount of their budget and filming dedicated to NYC get tax breaks, plus use of "Made in NY" logo). So, sure, having a baby in NYC is definitely qualifies it for "Made in NY" status...but what about all the kids conceived in NY, but born in other places? We think the city should try to get in on that racket. Finally, Gothamist still think babies look like little blankets with little old man heads attached.

Does this mean we're going to see more babies in Union Square? If so, will all adults in the area start with their silly faces and baby noises? Gothamist is ready with our permanently silly faces. Will this mean a baby renaissance or the East side of Union Square? We have an idea! Piggybacking off the success of the Babies "R" Us location, open up a day care center next door that would cater to the parents who could shop and then go across the park for lunch or early dinner.

http://www.gothamist.com/archives/2003/09/12/stroller_mommy_gets_no_dough.php">husband was from New York, which makes that excuse pretty flimsy. The only baby that seems to have done okay when left alone was Moses, and those were extenuating circumstances. If there's one thing New Yorkers don't stand for, it's babies without their mommies or daddies, because we love accessories!
