re: NYC Restaurants with Kids

Are you asking what restaurants are kid friendly or what restaurants are fun for kids?

I live in NYC with three kids, the oldest is 8, and outside of fine dining restaurants, most restaurants are kid friendly—especially older kids like yours.

For fun experiences, Ellen’s like others have mentioned.

Another tea place (if your 8 year old is a girl) is Alice’s Tea Cup—they have a couple locations. They give fairy wings and sprinkle pixie dust on the littles ones.

Beetle House in East Village is great if your kids like scary movies. They have a bunch of movie memorabilia and I think someone dressed as Beetlejuice still walks around.

The Cauldron down in the financial district is a magic themed bar. I think they have an Afternoon Wizard’s Tea for kids as well.
