Peppino's Park Slope

Diner for breakfast and lunch, with shakes and crepes.

Free branch in an old Carnegie library building, with a reading room for kids.

Relaxed neighbourhood bar and grill with an easy menu.

Gelato shop that doubles as a bakery, for an afternoon snack.

Bridges, slides and water cannons for the bigger kids, and a separate tot area so a toddler isn't dodging them.

An interactive Revolutionary War exhibit next door to a playground, so history and play time fit in one outing. The upstairs gallery is stairs only.
