Have you heard of Butcher and the Burger? Saw it on Travel Channel and just wondering if it's worth checking into?
Gah here is where my knowledge ends. I'm not sure about an admission charge, but I feel like there is - something like $10-20 - at least from what I vaguely remember. It's been at least four years since I've been on the Pier.
Not sure about the boat tours either, but that's a great question. I'd imagine they would, provided it's not like 40 degrees and the river is partially frozen or something.
I also haven't heard of that restaurant, but it sounds cool from what you've said! I actually know rather little of dining in the city, sadly, as my experiences have almost always been with family or friends repeatedly choosing the same big names (like those I mentioned), and usually only for special events or the occasional trip into the city. Ironically, one of my really good friends is in town today with me for a fashion show, and she's a food journalist in the city, so I'll ask her for some neat kid-friendly ideas tonight!
