Meatballs for the People

A casual neighborhood coffee stop that works better with kids than somewhere tiny and hushed.

A thoughtful independent toy shop with wooden toys, games and gifts that feel less generic than a big chain.

A good place to hunt for inexpensive kids clothes, books and toys while doing something a little more local.

A broad bistro menu gives you pasta, meat and simpler choices without needing a separate children's restaurant.

All day breakfast means pancakes and eggs can solve lunch too, which is useful with tired or picky eaters.

The deli counter and broad menu give everyone options, and the square outside is handy when sitting patience runs out.
