Hey, I am heading out to New York and Washington DC next week to give my kids their civic lessons (whatever I can remember

) Was wondering if anyone has good restaurant recommendations. I will be traveling with my wife, 2 teenagers and a 9 year old, so family restaurants would be best. We enjoy all kind of food, as long as it it not too spicy. we prefer local favors rather than chain restaurants. Any favorites out there and any restaurants we should not miss? TIA.
