Best places for family dining
Donna Alberico
After a day out with the kids, they're going to want to eat.
Of course, not just any place will do. First, you'd like to be somewhere near your activities. Then, you want your choice to be a family spot as well as one easy on the wallet. Good food and atmosphere count, too.
This list should guide you beyond the same old pizza and burgers. Who knows? You may discover a few ethnic specialties that even your most finicky young eater will enjoy.
