## The list

1. [Parm Upper West Side](https://ourplayday.com/places/parm-upper-west-side-new-york) (restaurant, New York). Casual red-sauce spot where your kid builds their own pasta, which means they'll actually eat it.
2. [Harlem Shake](https://ourplayday.com/places/harlem-shake-new-york) (restaurant, New York). Burgers and milkshakes in a room that looks straight out of a 1950s diner.
3. [Alice's Tea Cup Chapter I](https://ourplayday.com/places/alice-s-tea-cup-chapter-i-new-york) (restaurant, New York). Scones and pots of tea in a room done up like a fairy tale, so a snack feels like a small occasion.
4. [Cowgirl](https://ourplayday.com/places/cowgirl-new-york) (restaurant, New York). Western memorabilia on the walls and a small toy shop inside, so kids have plenty to look at while the food comes.
5. [Economy Candy](https://ourplayday.com/places/economy-candy-new-york) (restaurant, New York). Candy stacked floor to ceiling, so choosing just one takes a while. Agree on how many before you walk in.
6. [Ellen's Stardust Diner](https://ourplayday.com/places/ellen-s-stardust-diner-new-york) (restaurant, New York). The waiters sing Broadway songs between orders, and your kid will stop eating to watch.
7. [Hamburger America](https://ourplayday.com/places/hamburger-america-new-york) (restaurant, New York). A classic lunch counter where kids can sit up front and watch the burgers cook on the griddle.
8. [The Pickle Guys](https://ourplayday.com/places/the-pickle-guys-new-york) (restaurant, New York). Pickles sold straight out of barrels, so kids get to point at the exact one they want.

## About this list

Every place here is a listing on Play Day, and a place is listed only when something positive is known about it for kids. Each listing carries the kid facts (high chairs, changing tables, kids' menus, wheelchair access) with the source and month of each. A list needs at least three places to exist.
