Ellen's Stardust Diner Ellen's Stardust might be my top recommendation for its combination of decent food and fun "theme" restaurant atmosphere without a ridiculous price tag. The food is typical diner food. The prices are about twice what you'll pay at your local diner (a burger deluxe is $13 and they have a kids menu for kids under 6 for $9.50). The fun thing about Ellen's Stardust is that it takes the retro diner theme to the next level. The outside of the diner looks like an old railroad car even though it's built into the side of an office building and the decor carries out the retro diner theme inside, but sit here for a while and the waiters will break out into song, singing old 50s early rock tunes, standing up on empty tables and putting on a fun show making this midtown lunch spot a memorable stop for families. Burger Heaven For a classic diner experience without the bells and whistles, my midtown pick is Burger Heaven. There's no kids menu but a simple burger will run you just $6.55. There are several locations, but the one closest to Rockefeller Center is 49th St just east of 5th. = = =9/11 Memorial= 6:00 pm http://www.911memorial.org/you-arrive

Traveling to Ground Zero and the World Trade Center Site
The World Trade Center Site is located in lower Manhattan, bound by Vesey Street on the north, Liberty Street on the south, Church Street on the east and West Street. Parking and driving around the World Trade Center site is very difficult because of all the construction, so I highly recommend using public transportation. = = =Chinatown= 65 Bayard Street (at Mott) 212-566-4884 Cash only This Chinatown restaurant is a great choice for families -- children can enjoy their traditional favorites and parents can choose to have the more adventurous, delicious Shanghai dishes the restaurant is well-known for. Quick service and a bustling atmosphere ensure that the kids will be fed before they get bored.
