These welcome spots offer more than pizza and burgers.

Lebanese Taverna

If your brood includes young diners who are entranced by small, colorful nibbles, plan an outing to this family-owned spot, where shareable small plates allow kids (and parents) to try new dishes without committing to a full entree. If that idea doesn’t fly, there are also kids’ meals served with celery, carrots and hummus for dipping, plus options ranging from the familiar (grilled or house-breaded chicken) to Lebanese standards like falafel or kofta (best described as a long meatball). Kids can also sip their own mango, lemonade or pomegranate “cocktails.” For aspiring young chefs, private cooking classes are available as birthday parties, school and Scout activities. Bonus: Children under 12 eat free off the kids’ menu during the summer.
