Ballyhoo Grill

Kids pick their candy or fruit and watch it get folded into the ice cream on a frozen stone, which is half the fun.

Mochi donuts on the sweet side, Korean hot dogs on the savory.

Pan-Asian plates and sushi, with a Little Dragons menu of smaller meals, so your kid gets their own bowl while you order rolls.

Comics, Pokémon cards and tabletop games for a young card collector or comic fan to browse.

Paint a pottery piece on a walk-in visit, or sign up for a canvas or clay class. Pieces are fired, so pickup is about two weeks later.

Empanadas, chicken and rice, and a case of pastries: a gentle first go at Cuban food, with familiar sides for the picky one.
