Kid-friendly restaurants in New York City

By Posted on
  • JOE'S SHANGHAI . New York offers no shortage of Chinese dumpling houses, but Joe's Shanghai, with two Manhattan locations (plus one in Flushing, Queens), is the classic destination for soup dumplings, those plump, pinched purses filled with broth and meat. A meal at Joe's is theater for kids: watching the bamboo baskets being shepherded from kitchen to table, letting the steam float up and away, biting off a little piece of dough, noisily slurping down the soup (warn them to watch out, it's hot), devouring the dumpling and its meat. There will be mess. Possibly a burned tongue. But that's part of the experience, too.
