How'd it go? We ended up there the next morning for brunch with friends and the bub... wondered whether the Reaper clan burned the place down or not...I think we're going to try this Saturday around 3:00 if you're in the area - We'll have the two strollers and lots of drinks....We tried some new BBQ place up near Park and 20th that was pretty lame, good for kids though. The table next two us was two women with kids and they were getting TRASHED.. She gets up to pick up a kid then sits back down and misses the chair completely and I had to help her up... Then the older kid (maybe 3) walks towards our table and grabs a steak knife off the next table and proceeds to do a sword swallow 'trick' and I'm like And I grab the knife..... Jeez, I'm watching MY kid. They pretty much ran out after that.lol... I used to say B-Bar as a joke too, until we went for it one Sunday brunch and had no problem getting a table with our stroller rolled up to it without angry looks or comments from the staff. Even offer high chairs and flirt with Floppolinho.Lunetta... A bit out of our walking range, but I'll look into that- thanks!That's funny - As an old B &T'r I tell the wife all the time how "back in the day" I used to hang out at B-bar, and we did - Haven't been there in maybe 10 years but, it was great back then....Our fall-back for that kind of scene is B-Bar... Bowery and 4th St. Outdoor seating... check.Floppo - Got a list of Kid friendly YET COOL restaurants - Maybe outside seating...
I've learned that the key with kids is to just go out real early - Like 5:00pm before the rush and there wil be lots of kids around...
I've got a buddy coming into town with a 8month old....
I was thinking of just going to Rosa Mexicana - I don't think there's an outside but, it's pretty cool
Kid-friendly... check.
Lots of available seating and kids at brunch and early dinners... check.
Food... kinda ok- not great, but consistently decent.... check?
Mainly it's in the hood, so ... double check.
We also go to Thor in the Rivington Hotel- a bit pricey, but good food and always a table available at the last minute. Groovy wallpaper that the kid goes ape-#### over... and also a short walk, so yes-sir.
But we're dying for some new spots.
Oh- totally agree about getting out early. I think we're just starting to figure that out- we've been heading out as soon as I get back from the office around 6:30 over the last couple of weeks.
So, I've been saying B-Bar as a joke......
But, hmmmmmmm. It's possible.. She just sent me a link to Lunetta at Broadway and Park...
We'll probably be taking a nice long walk so any of these areas will do.
I just don't feel like winding up at Pete's Tavern again. (or Choshi ; ) )
