Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Hudson Yards

Great atmosphere, service, and of course, food! We had the Tom Yum seafood hotpot and the Karee Pu Noodles (curry crab noodles) and both were delicious. Can be hard getting a reservation (though luckily a 12:30 PM one opened up for us) so definitely reserve a spot in advance!

This was our second visit to Tony’s and it was even better this time around. It was only my daughter and I, so we ordered the special Chicken Parmesan with Vodka Sauce and Burrata, and a side of rigatoni with broccoli, garlic and olive oil. It was absolutely delicious! For dessert we had the mini cannolis, which were incredible. Our waiter was fantastic! The restaurant was very pretty all decorated for Christmas. The noise level in the restaurant was “energetic” and it was a little bit hard to hear the music and each other talk. But, overall this was a fabulous experience. Still one of our favorite restaurants! Be sure to make a reservation at least a few days in advance. The place is always hopping!

We’ve eaten at Carmine’s a few times now but we love eating there during this time of year. Carmine’s is the perfect spot for a festive holiday meal! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with beautiful decorations that set the holiday mood. The service is top-notch—attentive and friendly, making you feel right at home. Their family-style Italian dishes are absolutely delicious, with generous portions that are perfect for sharing. So, for being in the heart of NYC, it’s a decent value for our family. Whether it’s a holiday gathering or just a night out, Carmine’s delivers a memorable dining experience

Mary C was stellar with her service, interaction, and expertise making our afternoon tea experience at The Palm Court more memorable than we could have expected. She was quick to greet us when we sat down and was patient with us when taking our time to decide which tea service to choose. (We chose the Traditional). Yes, there were lots of people during the holiday season, but Mary C was patient and kind, taking time to explain all the yummy things to eat. She even boxed up the extra treats we could not finish. Well worth the time and expense for an invaluable afternoon with Mary C. She is as much an asset as Eloise and we hope the Plaza hangs a portrait of her on their wall as well.

It was a lovely evening...terrific food, and the the waiter and host/manager were welcoming, charming, and and delightful, as was the case the last time we visited some years back. I sense this time arouund, we will be returning sooner than later...
