Fast, casual falafel makes this an easy vegetarian lunch when you do not want another sit down reservation.

A casual pizza stop that works when you want dinner to be quick, familiar and not a whole event.

A beautifully curated book and magazine shop that works best for design minded older kids and teens.

A bookstore devoted to children makes this a much more special browse than the kids corner of a giant chain.

The neighborhood location gives you parks, cafés and easy walks nearby, which can feel nicer with kids than a business district.

A good choice when parents care about the coffee, with pastries and a relaxed enough atmosphere for a quick family stop.
