Manhattan views! Good food and a variety of prices. Laid back vibe. Great for any meal. Indoor and outdoor seating. This is a little far and parking is possible, but might be difficult so I suggest uber, or the 80 bus.

Best Burger downtown. Across the street from a playground so a good spot when the weather is nice to burn some kid energy and eat outside. We have always eaten with our kids inside as well, but it is definitely a bar.

Delicious Lebanese/French cuisine. You can bring your own wine/beer. I love the lamb pitza and their hummus is so good! You can also get some pretty Americanized food there as well if you have a picky person in your group.

Delicious red-checkered table cloth Italian. Great meatballs and Eggplant parm. The chicken parm pizza is the best, but a little pricy if you're just looking for pizza.

Hole-in-the-wall deli with the BEST Italian sandwiches and pastries. They sell out so it is a place best visited early. There is a little park around the block that is a good spot to eat your giant sandwiches at.

Beautiful little park with playground and splash pad. It looks like the Secret Garden by the fountain and the buildings around it are all instagram-worthy.

Local Secret. Views of lower Manhattan, Ellis Island, & the Statue of Liberty. There is a Korean War Memorial there and the parking says for that only, but you can get away with parking there for an hour or so. We like to climb down to the water on the right side and skip rocks.
