Best family neighborhoods in New York City?

I need a setting for a book. I'm looking for best family neighborhoods in New York City. Looking for middle to upper crust, good suburban type of neighborhood. I'm not from there (obviously) and frankly, the boroughs just confuse me. There's cities inside cities and my head is spinning. So I come looking for help! I thought I'd ask people who actually might live in the city (and who would have more experience than me). Just looking for names of cities, so I could narrow my research down a bit.

thanks very much!
