Children Specific Resturants

Hi J.,

I write a food blog for Chicago Parent magazine's website. I dish on a lot of food-related topics (like organic foods, birthday food traditions, etc.) And about twice a month I detail a Chicago-area family dining adventure. I hope you'll find it helpful and amusing. It's at http://chicagoparent.com/cs/blogs/cake/default.aspx
There are other blogs and features on the website as well.

My boys LOVE The Choo-Choo, and it's only a couple of block from the Des Plaines library, which has a FABULOUS children's section.

There's a tiny new place in Highland Park called Sloppy Jo's www.sloppyjos.com that might be fun for you and your little one.
Enjoy!

We go there for the kids birthdays. Cute place (very small), the food is average. The place gets packed. You must try to sit by the counter, that is where the train goes around and brings out the food.

in downers grove a new train themed resturant is opening next week.

Thanks for the tip! I think we'll give it a try!

I don't know if this website will help you or not, I found it last week when looking for live theater, but it may be helpful: www.chicagokids.com
