Wife and I want to take the kids down to the Aquarium and insect deal in a few weeks. The boys are 4 and 2.

Looking for something that may be local, good food, but an environment that is easy to manage kids in...not Chuckie Cheese type stuff, or even kiddie, just relaxed and good local grub. Would love it within walking distance but not required

American Sector is a good choice.

You can probably get away with Palace Cafe downstairs with kids.

I thought it sucked, but it may be a good place to take the boys. The 4 year old will love anything with sports involved.

Palace Cafe right there is good with kids and it's two blocks from the Insectarium.
American Sector would probably be a good choice, but it's a little further.

Camelia Grill (the Grill) may be a good choice as it's simple food.

I recently went to the aquarium for the first time in a while. I wouldn't plan to spend a significant amount of time there - we went slow and probably stayed there for an hour...

We did the Aquarium /Insect deal this summer with our two rug rats. Took them to Dragos, Elizabeths, Cafe Du monde, and *gasp* Bubba Gumps. The latter being their and my niece the babysitters choice the night me and the bride went to August. All were kid friendly. The boy especially got a kick out of all the hungover/stoned wookies and hipsters stumbling into Elizabeth's at 11am.

I thought about them as well because I know its close. And my kids aren't completely out of control or anything. We don't need high chairs or such...just need an environment that is pretty active. Seems to keep their interest while Mom and Dad have a cocktail, and if they do screech out it doesn't disrupt others too much.

Dragos,


Two votes and I wouldn't have thought of it.

I didn't eat. Just sipped a bad cocktail whilst they devoured some popcorn shrimp and whatnot. It might be better than a run of the mill Sonic. But not the Rayvegas Sonic.

Camelia Grill is a great idea for kids.

Surprised no one has mentioned domenica. We have been taking ours there before Pelican games. Good cocktails and Pizza. Its also loud enough so kids won't bother people. Plus its in a hotel so kids have to be somewhat expected. FYI, our kids are 3 and 5.

I bet Domincia would be a good kid place. We may take them there this summer.

Have had plenty of luck at Stanley, Domenica, and most recently (not walking distance) Ancora.
