| What a great idea, to have little kids (0-4) play so near the elderly. It's a bright and cheery space too. Playgroups Tuesday afternoons, Music Together class Monday 9:30, Spanish 1,2,3 Thursday 9am | |

| It feels good to open the door and know what to expect. The food here is fine, and consistent. Even on very busy mornings. The staff is always friendly, but not cloying (think Alice, not Flo). They have many options for pancakes and french toast (raspberry, cranberry, pecan, banana, blueberry) but they are all "white" , don't expect buttermilk, buckwheat, malted, etc. options. They also do not have "real" syrup. Make sure you ask for your eggs the way you want them (the default is super runny!) Most items come without much salt or pepper, so enjoy your own liberal addition. The food is slightly more expensive than you expect for digs like this, ($9 omelets). but not as greasy as diners usually are. Don't forget cash! | |

| a great hotel- bistro. Open nice and early. Kind to the kiddies, especially during lunch (they sometimes dole out rubber duckies) but no changing tables. (!) | |

| The Mills recently changed formats ('07) to produce more community-oriented shows. With a guest curator program and no designated visual art directors, the BCA's rep for innovation is in flux. | |

| Local parents rave about jfc's sleep consultations for newborns, babies and toddlers. Starting with phone consultation, in-home advice is also available. http://www.jfcsboston.org/fcs/sleep_consultations.cfm | |

| A wonderful breakfast, easy with groups or children but intimate and quiet enough for one on one. The staff is very friendly. Buffet includes nouveau-irish treats like bangers. (Silly, but I come for the abundant and fresh fruit, in winter it very tasty! - where do they get in season tasting fruit?) Also, the made to order waffles are perfect, my favorite in boston. Light fluffy... | |

| They may not have highchairs or changing facilities, but staff are welcoming and friendly towards children. Plus- with wonderful but simple dishes, it's easy to feed children here (but not cheaply) Bonus, they are open for dinner very early (3!) parents can have a very early dinner with their friends who are eating a very late lunch. | |

| I run in for their famous iced green tea - it's presweetened but not too much. (they separate iced tea and coffee equipment so there is no cross taste!) Quick service too. I don't care for sit-down much. A bit crowded for babies, strollers etc. Although Francesca's does have highchairs, the kids can get jostled in this crowded, bustling bistro. | |

| surprisingly good pho, mango fried rice (a bit saucy) and salads. Cheap! | |

| They have a few highchairs, and usually accommodate kids with a smile. It fills up very quickly tho- I'd suggest an early lunch if you are with little ones. | |

| trick- go in for a pedicure, or other service, and then you're able to use their entire spa/gym for that day! | |

| Loud low flying planes and huge barges sailing past are great for the preschool crowd. The water is exceptionally warm, but as of this august was a bit... foamy. Sully's is great for the type of fare they sell. Real (hand pressed) old fashioned burgers and dogs, fried shrimp, soft serve etc. | |
