"High chairs: Yes This throwback luncheonette that opened in 1925 is only three blocks from the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the Upper East Side—the itinerary for a Manhattan family outing writes itself. There are tons of easy-to-like dishes here, like their fluffy pancakes and egg creams, which are as fun to drink as they are to watch being made. And when someone makes a mess, you can rest easy knowing vinyl and linoleum remain some of the most easily wipeable surfaces known to humankind." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
