Kevin's Noodle House

A wide lawn beside a playground, first set aside in the 1800s as a safe haven from the horse racing in the park.

A neighborhood playground for a quick run-around between other plans.

Fifty-five acres of gardens inside Golden Gate Park with a children's garden and lawns to eat lunch on. Wide flat paths the whole way.

Sunset Chinese known for dry-fried chicken wings; loud enough that a meltdown goes unnoticed.

1,017 acres holding what's thought to be the country's first public playground (now Koret), a carousel of 62 animals, and rowboats on Blue Heron Lake.

Sunset Vietnamese where pho and rice plates suit kids of any age.
