Kevin Federline, Britney Spears and baby Sean Preston are in New York, shopping and taking in the sites and sounds of the Big Apple. The trip - it has been reported - is to help Kev and Brit get back on the right track.

Britney takes NY by storm

It might be working, but the NY Post has a bit of fun at the couple's expense, basically calling them rubes shopping and partying away in the big city.

Page Six:

The Country Music Association has left town, but the rednecks still linger. Britney Spears and her trash-tastic hubby, Kevin Federline, are trying their best to take Manhattan — and seem to have gotten over the spats that consumed them earlier this month.

Last week, the two caught a showing of "Sweet Charity" — the show in which they're rumored to be in talks to co-star — and did some Christmas shopping.

Over the weekend, Spears got a manicure complete with new, inch-long fake fingernails after a visit to Marquee Friday night with Federline and his brother — where they all proceeded to down a copious amount of alcohol.

According to one source, Spears' drink of choice was vanilla rum and orange juice, and "they seemed very lovey-dovey. They left at 2:30 a.m. while the rest of their crew closed it down."

Son Sean Preston was seen in the back of the car when they left.

Cold shot by Page Six - but hey - that's why we love 'em.

By the way someoneelse was driving with baby in tow as pictures show the couple in the back seat.

Miu has lots more pictures.
