DH and I have to make a quick trip to Monsey today (probably). Are there any new kid-friendly places we should try out while we are there?

Try the Purple Pear - don't know how new it is but it is nice and kid friendly - it is like a frum diner, just be prepared for long lines if you go right around lunch time.

actually went there once for our anniversary and had a horrible experience. no silverware, wrong food, long wait, etc. Plus, they seem overpriced

thansk..it could have been that DH and I were just extremly unlucky when we went, but it really turned us off to the place.

Do you live in Monsey or just visit?

shelli's are more like a pizzeria type of place, but I know shelli's too also has fishes and sushi. I don't knwo if they have anything to do with the one in teaneck.

I was never in avenue R, but I hear ppl really like it. a typical lunch place, salads, tuna eggs, etc.

I think Avenue R is right across the street from Purple pear.
Dunno about the others.

Ave. R is on the 59 right across the street from purple pear.
shelli's is on maple ave. do you know where hatzlacha grocery is? it's in the same shopping place. (if you need exact directions let me know)
and shelli's too, is on the 306 after wesley kosher (again if you need exact directions let me know)

ok..know where 59 is, and know where wesley kosher is. Is it in the same shopping center or further down? I didnt think there was anything further down. DH may know hatzlacha grocery, but I dont. We usually go to Welsey kosher or the big one.

There's a new Shwarma place in the Atrium Plaza.
If I were you I would give The Purple Pear another shot. I think that's the best place Monsey has. I have found the food really great, fresh, and presented nicely. Lunch time they do not offer waiter service, dinnertime they do.
Enjoy!

I never had a bad experience in Purple Pear, on the contrary, I once ordered something and it took forever and the woman came to my table with it and said the first one was a bit burnt so we made it again sorry for the delay!!
