Best Kids Menus In New York
By Tabitha Britt
Forget chicken tenders and mini cheeseburgers, New York is known for its top-notch food, all-night entertainment, and little one-approved menu options. Don't get caught up in the tourist trap of Times Square or stuck in a generic chain restaurant. Explore New York the right way and take the kids to a few kitschy restaurants. From ramen to authentic Southern cuisine, New York has it all.

What kid doesn't love pizza? When it comes to New York-style pizza, Juliana's Pizza is the real deal.

If you're looking for a New York restaurant that's high chair and booster seat-friendly, then take the family on over to Cowgirl. Decorated with deer-antler chandeliers, tables draped in plastic gingham tablecloths, and old photographs of the country chanteuse Patsy Cline, this Southern eatery is the best place to pig out. Let the kids sink their teeth into a crispy fried corn dog, also known as the "Get Along Little Corndoggie," a cheesy grilled cheese sandwich, or even a chili-filled Frito pie!

In a hurry and need a quick-fix breakfast? Stop by Broadway Bagel, New York's one-stop-shop for fluffy pancakes, oversized muffins, and bagels over flowing with a creamy and delicious spread. But you should know, if the little ones are skittish about cream cheese be sure to request a "light" helping.
