Kids menus used to go hand-in-hand with tepid chicken fingers, steamed wieners settled into pallid, nutrient-poor buns and other, equally uninspiring fare. Happily, things have come a long way. Today’s kids want more. As parents get creative in the kitchen, scour the city for rare ingredients and subject their kids to dinnertime delays while struggling to get the perfect Insta-shot, a new generation of culinary connoisseurs is taking note.

For kids who are likelier to crave momo momos and esquites than over-boiled noodles saturated in unnaturally-red sauce, these are the places to go.
