Peterbrooke Chocolatier - San Marco

A toy shop sorted by age, toddler through teen, so your kid heads straight for their shelf of trains, LEGO or games.

Pizza and gelato in an old movie theater, with films projected on the wall while you eat.

A small green square with a lion fountain to look at, and storytime in the gazebo now and then.

An independent bookstore with a proper kids' section and the occasional story time, an easy place to browse together.

An old-school walk-up window for ice cream cones. Eat them outside, and keep kids clear of the street.

A back patio overlooking an active rail line, so a train-loving kid may get a passing train with breakfast.
