Eating any kind of fast
food outside of road trips or hung-over weekends is generally verboten
amongst me and my higher functioning organs. That all goes out the
window when Hipster Jr. is involved--especially when I have to bring
him to the emergency daycare in Midtown and have very few kid-friendly
dining options. I don't think I'm going to be doing the typical thing
and eat a panini at my desk as I answer emails and IMs laced with
profanity and complaints. Generally cranky Web people don't like screeching
children interrupting their Adobe Illustrator explorations or conversations
about dev cycles and production installs. Most of the joints around
Rock Center are take-out places anyway. And the places that aren't
are stuffed with suits and are about as likely to have highchairs
as they are land mines. Cut to the only viable option around: McDonald's.
Not only do they have highchairs, but also a sound-muting subterranean
location that would depress the hell out of any grown up, but is kinda
like eating in Oscar's trash can--so kid's will be as happy as can
be. I think they're doing something different with their chicken sandwiches
these days, so I didn't hate it as much as I usually do, but at least
they offered oranges with the kid's meal that my particular kid refused
to eat. I guess he has better taste than that. [MF] Other Locations: McDonald's (Greenwich Village) McDonald's (NoHo) McDonald's (Spanish Harlem) McDonald's (Theater District) McDonald's (Union Square) |
