Time Out New York Kids

When it’s time for treat, this old timey soda fountain shop offers a variety of different floats made with soda made in-house and Adirondack Creamery ice cream. Kids will want to grab a stool at the counter and watch their sundae handcrafted on the spot (half sizes are available on most flavors, which is welcomed for a family with little tummies).

What began in the ‘80s as a mobile concession stand has evolved into a go-to BBQ spot for families. There are plenty of pork, burgers and brisket options, but the typical staples are accompanied by selections with flair—creole deviled eggs, bronzed catfish and the smoked portobello sandwich. Littles will feast on sides such as mac & cheese and creamed corn, though parents will want their kiddos to opt for the simmered greens or broccoli chickpea salad (wishful thinking).

If you’ve worked up an appetite exploring the labyrinth that is IKEA, walk a few blocks to Brooklyn Crab instead of downing Swedish Meatballs. There are Chicken Wings ($9) Fish and Chips ($18) and Catfish Po’boy’s ($14) to fill little bellies, plus adult entrees like the Atlantic King Crab Roll ($24) and Snow Crab ($28). There’s a huge deck with picnic tables overlooking the Red Hook Channel and Hudson River, plus there’s 8-hole mini golf out back.
