8 Great Family Friendly Restaurants in Times Square, New York, New York

A recent trip to NYC to see a Broadway musical prompted me to write this post, after discovering that our favorite go-to restaurant in Times Square had closed is doors. When you think of all the restaurants in the theatre district, there surprisingly aren’t that many family-friendly restaurants in Times Square, or at least not the kind we typically like. There are a lot of upscale and fine dining restaurants in Mid-town, and then there are a lot of big chains and theme-style restaurants. But if you’re like us and don’t want to head to Applebee’s or Olive Garden, and certainly aren’t taking your wild childs with you to fancy Le Bernardin, what are you left with? There is a lot of sifting to be done in the mighty Times Square area to find the right place to eat for you and your family.

Here are 8 family-friendly restaurants in Times Square to help you plan a pre- or post- theatre meal if you’re visiting the city or seeing a show.

This always-popular Italian is a NYC institution and is great for big groups. It’s all about family-style sharing, so bring your appetite along with friends and the kids, and get down to business. Antipasto platters, garlic bread, any pasta you desire and their delicious chicken parm will leave fully satiated and ready to take on a Broadway show! 200 West 44th Street, New York 10036/ 212.221.3800 ......
