The young staff at the various Marathon outposts are surprisingly tolerant of your shrieking spawn, and the kids’ menu here (which includes a rugrat version of their famous matzo ball soup) is the best around. Plus, all of the locations have liquor licenses, so when the kids ask why you’re walking so funny on the way out the door, just remind them that Daddy drinks because they cry.
