What are some good child-friendly restaurants in NYC for children with limited eating options?

I'm visiting family in NYC for two weeks, and my youngest niece and my nephew are also visiting. My sister and I are taking turns babysitting them while my mother is at work. However, my nephew Cadyn is allergic or reacts to lots of things (corn, wheat, gluten, soy, all dairy products (even goat cheese and yogurt), eggs, sulfites, oats, coconut, carrots, black pepper, tuna, sesame seeds), and my niece Kylie is a vegetarian (she went vegetarian in the past year and is actually quite serious about it). Cadyn is only allowed to have red meat once a month because he reacts to it, and he's already had his month's share. Cadyn is five, and Kylie is almost eight.



I'm mostly going to be staying with my sister in Brooklyn, but we're also spending lots of time in Manhattan, as well as parts of the Bronx. I have lots of great activities planned for them (museums, nature preserves, parks, street fairs, free community theater, etc), but I need to be able to feed them. Since we're doing lots of walking and traveling on the train, carrying a big cooler of food is a little stressful. What are some good restaurants that I can take them to for lunch and dinner? I'm a vegan and I'm fairly savvy about vegan food in at least Brooklyn and Manhattan (so feeding Kylie won't be as much of an issue), but many of these places contain ingredients that Cadyn would react to.



Thanks in advance! I'm so excited about spending time with these wonderful children, but hungry kids make grumpy kids :(What are some good child-friendly restaurants in NYC for children with limited eating options?
