Generous Georgie Wins the Day
The Post just released their 2005 "Readers Choice Poll" results, and it looks like I was in sync with the experiences of other DC-area parents when I chose Generous George's Positive Pizza (Duke St., Alexandria) as a "DC BABY Favorite" in my new book. Post readers voted Generous George's the number one kid-friendly restaurant in metro Washington!
One caveat for any of you who might get inspired to visit Generous George's for the very first time after reading these glowing reviews... The restaurant is under major renovation at the moment. They're still open during the work, but when we were in recently it was a zoo. Best bet: Give it 'til the first of the year and it'll be shiny and brand-spanking refurbished, with plenty of space to do what kids do best there. (Run wild, make a mess, and make noise.)
Other restaurants I recommend for families with young children also made the Post's top 10 in this category, including Rainforest Cafe, California Tortilla, Austin Grill, and 2 Amys.
Sorry, but DC BABY no-can-do on two of the Post readers' picks: Chuck E. Cheese's and McDonald's. (I have a strong stomach, but not that strong.)
Sadly, the Post's readers' poll doesn't cover any other child- or family-related categories - Not shopping, not parks with playgrounds, not daytrips with kids, nada. A lousy "theme park" review is the only bone they throw our way.
[Sigh.]
