Cover Story

When We Were Young

In a city where kids often seem far older than their years, Jennifer Senior explores the evolution of New York childhood.

Plus: Which hotel would Eloise inhabit these days? An illustrated homage. And four centuries of kids who made the news—for writing novels, suffering terribly, being little geniuses, or altering the fate of a playoff game.
