PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Tiffany WoodsGet your kid a Pat LaFrieda burger and a Blue Marble milkshake at this popular Harlem destination that celebrates the neighborhood’s culture. The devoted local following and classic retro vibe makes it feel like the kind of local joint that has been around forever. Pretty soon, this spot will be what comes to mind when you hear "Harlem Shake," and not the 2013 dance meme. . https://www.timeout.com/new-york-kids/restaurants/theme-restaurants-in-nyc

More info7. Dinosaur Bar-B-Que
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Jojo VoyageWhat began in the ‘80s as a mobile concession stand has evolved into a go-to BBQ spot for families. There are plenty of pork, burgers and brisket options, but the typical staples are accompanied by selections with flair—creole deviled eggs, bronzed catfish and the smoked portobello sandwich. Littles will feast on sides such as mac & cheese and creamed corn, though parents will want their kiddos to opt for the simmered greens or broccoli chickpea salad (wishful thinking). . https://www.timeout.com/new-york-kids/restaurants/theme-restaurants-in-nyc

PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Tiffany WoodsBurgers, shakes (and craft beer for the 21+ crowd). Is there anything else a tried-and-true New York foodie needs? Black Tap channels a classic American luncheonette and gives it a New York twist, meaning it has an edge. The décor is old-school hip-hop and rock & roll, and the food is anything but boring: burgers made of beef, bison, lamb, turkey, chorizo, and falafel, and sides that include Teriyaki Broccoli, Crispy Brussels Sprouts and Mexican Avocado. The signature “Crazy Shakes” have been well-sought after with names like The Cotton Candy Shake, Sour Power, Sweet n Salty and The Cookie Shake. . https://www.timeout.com/new-york-kids/restaurants/theme-restaurants-in-nyc

PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Jojo VoyageThis stylish joint harkens back to the good ol' days of family road trips—and significantly lower fuel prices. At first, the auto-body shop and gas station theme may strike you as less than appetizing, but the onetime garage serves up an inviting atmosphere along with some pretty choice patties, not to mention a lengthy gluten-free menu. . https://www.timeout.com/new-york-kids/restaurants/theme-restaurants-in-nyc
More info13. Jekyll & Hyde Club
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Jojo VoyageIf themed restaurants like the Stardust are your cup of tea, add the Jekyll & Hyde Club to your list. Located in Greenwich Village, the restaurant offers a haunted and spooky experience meant for older kids who like a good scare with their burgers. As the restaurant staff warns, something happens every 10 minutes, and live entertainment with a full cast of characters is always a part of your meal, day or night. The menu is filled with American fare, pizza and pasta, so all ages will find something they like. . https://thepointsguy.com/guide/best-nyc-restaurants-for-kids-families/
More info14. The Nugget Spot
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Tiffany WoodsWe’re not trying to stereotype children’s palates too much, but if we’re going to put meatball and macaroni places on the list of the best NYC restaurants for kids, we probably also need a chicken nugget spot. Here, an order of nuggets starts around $6. On the menu you’ll find “the reg,” meaning regular Southern-style nuggets, plus Buffalo nuggets, General Tso-inspired nuggets and even grilled “skinny nuggets.” There are even vegan nuggets. The Cap’n Crunch-coated nuggets get exceptionally high marks from TPG staffers.
On the “not nuggets” side of the menu, you’ll find oven-roasted broccoli, known here as “stinky trees,” fries, nacho mac and biscuits. . https://thepointsguy.com/guide/best-nyc-restaurants-for-kids-families/
More info15. Action Burger
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Emy MooreThis nondescript corner joint looks like just another neighborhood burger spot, but get closer and you'll catch a glimpse of old-school arcade games guarding the entrance. Inside, posters and newspaper clippings celebrate comic characters and gaming culture. A walk-up counter lets you order "hero" (healthy) or "villain" (greasy, diner goodness) foods. While you wait for your order, your family can play their fill of classic board games or action-packed video games. . https://mommypoppins.com/new-york-city-kids/restaurants/nyc-restaurants-with-kids-entertainment-and-activities
