Quinton's Bar & Deli

One of my favorite family-friendly lunch spots in town is Quinton's Bar and Deli in the East Village.  If you can get there before noon, you shouldn't have a problem finding a spot on the street nearby.  And even at the noon hour it isn't too bad to find a spot, you might just have to walk a little bit.  And remember to bring some change for the meter if it's a week-day.

Quinton's offers a nice variety of salads, sandwiches, burgers, bread-bowl soups and spuds.  These spuds are HUGE!  They are actually two potatoes put together filed with gooey goodness like cheese, chili, sour cream, chicken and more!

I also really like their kid's menu.  They offer chicken strips, cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, pb & j, mac and cheese or turkey and cheese severed with fries or chips, a drink and a fruit cup for around $5.  My kid loves it here because they remove the crust for him and grill his pb sandwich.  Very accommodating.

The service has always been friendly and the Foosball table and arcade video game is a help by keeping my kid occupied while waiting for food.  The atmosphere is isn't louder, so louder kids probably wont bother other diners that might be on their lunch break.  The restaurant is pretty big.

Consider Quinton's for a casual, family-friendly meal.  If you are looking for a more adult experience, they offer trivia on Wednesday nights and have happy hour daily from 3 to 7.  Check it out!
