When it comes to pleasing kids, hamburgers and hot dogs are forever. For instance, they might enjoy a jaunt to Blue Ox Brauhaus in Fox Chase.
Kids eat free on Wednesdays.
More adventures in eating can be found at Arroyo Grille in Manayunk, a sprawling Southwestern spot with plenty of room for youngsters. Then they can visit the Trading Post for some signature duds, and everyone's happy. If your kids find themselves culinarily challenged after all this international dining, mark Saturday, August 28, from noon to 2 p.m., when London, in the Fairmount district, holds a hands-on cooking session. If all else fails, don't forget Montgomery Grill's Sunday night specials. There's a nanny service upstairs for the kids, while parents may dine downstairs in relative calm on the steaks and seafood that are the Grill specialties.
