Mix it up: Grab a takeout sandwich from Tatte or One Rye and enjoy it at a nearby park if the weather’s nice.
Make it fun: Turn lunch into part of the adventure—milkshakes at Shake Shack, pancakes at Strawberry Fair, or taco trays at Bartaco can be a special treat after playtime.
With these spots, lunch after a morning at Happy Hearts Playspace can be just as fun as the play itself! 🍽️
