Absolutely do not bring them to Nettie’s House of Spaghetti

That better not be rutts hut.

It's not bad, but can be expensive I feel, just a heads up OP

Edgewater would be good if you can find a decently priced house and taxes are pretty low.

That's great! Maybe I'll check one out some time.

Don't know, but no new Pope of Clifton as of yet.

You can’t pass up Jersey pizza.

Tip for OP: I’m not sure about the south, but if you plan to BYOB in NJ you’ll need to go to a liquor store for any type of alcohol, not a grocery store.

I used to spend hours at the Broad St. Diner (once upon a time called Maneta's), it's a good spot.

If you detoured a few miles east along Rt. 195, and got off on Rt. 130 South, there are a whole bunch of mostly kid friendly restaurants right there…

Broad street diner. It’s right on the way to the arena not far off 295. If you’re coming from the south, there’s not too much on the way to the arena from 295 to 195 to 129 besides a McDonald’s and Jerry’s pizza. Which I recommend, but not with toddlers. I’d say broad st diner would be your best bet.

I think you have the wrong ethnicity or the wrong town.

• Entertainment spots

This isn't touristy like NYC. Like, if you go to dim sum here, they expect you know what to do and the etiquette.

It's not a concentrated Chinatown like Manhattan.

There's some clusters and some single station stores.

Take a slight detour a couple of exits north on 295 on the way back. Grab some pizza at the Hamilton delorenzos. Famous for a reason. It’s about 5 minutes from the 129/295 connection. You could also hit up Palermo’s on 206 in bordentown for great pizza and Italian. Both joints are BYOB.

There are also some casual pub food type places with alcohol in bordentown itself. About a 5 minute detour from the highway.

Not very classy, but a McDonald's with a play area (if they still do that) was always hit with my son at that age

The non-Princeton locations have ample parking and are much larger.

Boy or a girl?

A lot of Chinese owned businesses on Rt 27. Look up “loving care pharmacy”, and that’s where the businesses are. I certainly wouldn’t call it a “Chinatown” though

I follow my town’s Facebook discussion group and often see people post about seeking help for their loved ones! People can provide resources or provide recommendations of people they know!

Not sure with those particular locations, but please don’t go to the Princeton location! Parking was impossible, it was a 30 minute wait just to get into the place, I got the most cramped and smallest table ever, and the food was average for the price. Worst restaurant experience of my life. Hope the other locations are better

Yeah some on the side like tasty moment and the hot pot spot. Also some Chinese places on 27 down the road. I’d say it’s Asia town. Maybe not Chinatown or Ktown. But I guess you could say Edison is basically Asia town with all the Indian spots too.

I want to second PJs pancake house in Ewing. I was there for lunch recently and there were several families with baby carriers and toddlers.

Thank you, that helps.

Mastoris is gone, but there is Chickie and Pete's and the Town and Country Diner off 130 in Bordentown area. There's also the Wisdom Diner. Those are three decent options that are on your way "home" back to 295.

Coming up 295 from the south. Eating after probably around 5ish since the show is at 3 and I think it will be easier to feed the little cherubs first before driving home.

I enjoy Texas Roadhouse but I have yet to go to one that doesn't make you wait even when you do the app.
