Kid-friendly restaurants in Brooklyn

Upstairs there's a kids' corner with toys, Magna-Tiles and a chalkboard, and meatballs and pasta toddlers actually eat. Stairs, so leave the stroller.

Burgers with retro video games and board games on hand, so kids have something to do while the food comes.

The chef cooks on the hibachi grill right at your table, so kids get a show with dinner.

An old pharmacy turned soda fountain, where kids can watch their sundae and homemade soda being put together.

The original neon-trimmed diner, with a long menu of diner plates and a slice of New York cheesecake to finish.

Square pizza and spumoni, so dinner and dessert come from the same counter.

Cotton candy and candy apples in a colourful little sweet shop by the rides. A treat to carry, not a place to sit.
