Adventure, baby!

TriBeCa

Aroma Espresso Bar; Kid-friendly Restaurants, TriBeCa, Manhattan, New York

We stopped by Aroma after a trip to nearby 9/11 Memorial, badly in need of a place to replenish strength with some out-of-town visitors. The casual vibe at Aroma is perfect for families, particularly those with young infants. Toddlers, too, are welcome – they can happily run around without bothering other diners. Cheese particularly loved the stands with packets of chips on them at a perfect height for little fingers to grab. Thank you Aroma staff for your tolerance!

Order and pay at the counter, then take a seat at one of several long tables. High chairs are available, or you can park your stroller at the table with you.

Aroma is a huge, modern cafe with lots of tables with plenty of room between them, and large, comfy chairs. Add in free wi-fi, fast service and delicious sandwiches, and you’ve got a solid, reliable place to stop and take a breath in the busy city.

Cheese loves the carbs.

Bubby's Tribeca

You don’t get more family friendly than the Bubby’s restaurants. The TriBeCa branch is a bit more upmarket than its Brooklyn sibling, but also has less space. Tables are a bit crowded together, making for a squished dining experience. A bright, rowdy atmosphere makes it fab for families. Take the kids to the nearby Hudson River Greenway afterwards to run around.

Highchairs: Yes.
Stroller storage: Yes. Stroller parking is outside the restaurant – be prepared to leave it on the street.
Easy access: Yes.
Change tables: Yes.
