Schwartz's Deli (and the takeout counter)
Everyone wants to do Schwartz's, but the dining room is cramped and the line is long — a nightmare with kids. The parent move: order at the takeout counter next door (same sandwich, no wait), and walk it to a bench or up to the park. Smoked meat on rye is an easy kid sell, and you skip the chaos entirely.
The legendary 1928 smoked-meat deli — too tight for a stroller inside, so use the takeout counter next door and eat in the park.
