Back-to-school season is officially upon us, which means a lot of things: Your kids will be mercifully occupied during the day, the subways will be reliably packed with noisy teens every afternoon, and the urge to buy a bunch of brand new notebooks will be strong in all of us. It also means we'll be spending the week covering survival tips for families fitting themselves into NYC apartments, from finding a kid-friendly building to setting up a study space in small apartments to navigating the city's ever-daunting school system. Stay tuned: There may or may not be a pop quiz at the end of the week.
