SUMMIT One Vanderbilt

"Almost every awning along the stretch of The Bronx's Arthur Avenue between D'Auria-Murphy Triangle and Ciccarone Park marks an Italian name possessing something—a pizzeria, a restaurant, a bakery. But just because it's all Italian, all the time along these two blocks doesn't mean all aren't welcome to come and patronize these establishments. It's some of the absolute best Italian food in New York City lined up for your convenience, bustling with life and good eats. Executive editor Erin Florio's relatives still do their Sunday shopping in the market, which she describes as "dusty but great." Poking around and picking a few things up there is really where it's at—bright seasonal produce, sausages of all stripes dangling from the ceiling, fresh-baked bread and vinegar-y imports from the old country line the walls in cans and jars. It's true one-stop shopping." - Charlie Hobbs, Alex Erdekian, Melissa Liebling-Goldberg

I’ve never been here but your kids might like that this is the most photo/selfie friendly “viewing” spot of NYC. It’s also in Grand Central Station so you have the added bonus of being able to walk around there (and pop into the Oyster Bar for a clam chowder at the lunch counter if you’re feeling peckish).
