4) Shake Shack, various locations
Shake Shack started as a hot dog cart in Madison Square Park and now has several locations across the city. Famous for its ‘roadside burgers’, hot dogs and frozen custard – I mean really what kid (and parent) doesn’t like milkshakes and hot dogs? A winner all round.

5) The Rock and Roll Playhouse, 280 Bond Street, Brooklyn
A club-come-play-centre where you can enjoy a family meal and have a dance too – there is also kids music workshops in the daytime. We also really enjoy the pop up bands all over the city at various times in the year.
