The Bryant family’s NYC itinerary was packed with activities that catered to the interests of young Bianka, seven, and Capri, four. They enjoyed sushi dinners, which was a hit among the little ones. One of the highlights of their trip was visiting a doll shop, where the girls likely indulged in the joy of choosing new dolls, a timeless activity that never fails to delight children.

In addition to their indoor activities, the family embraced the beauty of New York City’s parks, where they played games and picnics. A particularly touching moment was captured in a video of Bianka engaging in a game of checkers.

However, the trip’s highlight for any young basketball enthusiast was when Bianka shot hoops with WNBA superstar Sabrina Ionescu. This unique encounter was a thrill for Bianka and a reminder of the close connections and enduring legacy of Kobe Bryant within the basketball community. Vanessa captioned the joyful moment, “Had a fun time in NYC w/my babies this weekend. So glad we got to see ‘Beana’ @sabrina_i.”
