The Bronx Zoo is a great place, be prepared for alot of walking! We got a free child admission by showing a Bank of America credit card this summer, which saved us $8. There was alot of traffic when we got there just to park. Once inside they nickel and dime you, so it may be worth the money to buy the pay one price admission. The butterfly tent is always my favorite part. The gorillas were pretty cool this time too. It is a well mantained zoo.

The Beardsley Zoo is a fun place to go if you don't feel like driving all the way to the Bronx. Although they don't have a huge selection of animals at the Bearsdley Zoo, it makes for a nice 2 hour visit. They have these animals called Capibarras that are pretty cool, they are like huge rats. They also have the otters which are kind of cool to watch. And they have a merry go round for the kids, which they always enjoy.

Well I visited Smile Entertainment Center with my 8 year old son today. Smiles used to be a favorite of his, but we haven't been there is a few years, it was becoming very run down. It is a little biit better now. The games seemed to give out a reasonable amount of tickets, and there weren't many games which were not working. My son was able to get some pretty good prizes, but we spent $40 on tokens, so it took quite a bit of tokens to get them. They did have a pretty good selection of prizes today, and since it was a Monday late afternoon they weren't very crowded. All in all I would say Smiles has improved a bit over the past few years, could still use more work though.

The Plaza Diner Restaurant shouldn't really be considered a diner. They have great specials, and you will leave very full! I visit the Plaza Diner quite often for the lunch specials. They have awesome eggplant rolletini, and always have various wraps and salads as lunch specials as well. And their chicken souvlaki is the best around. You can also get gift certificates discounted at gift certificates.com for the plaza diner, this makes it a real bargain. They are usually packed on Thursday and Friday for lunch, so try to go either a little bit eraly or a little bit late to miss the crowd.

Sloppy Jose's Restaurant is a great authentic Mexican restaurant, a really nice atmoshere. We were a party of 2 adults, 3 kids on a Thursday night, the place was pretty full. We sat at a table in front of a fireplace. Lots of pepper lights, mexican puppets and mexican memorabilia. The food and drinks were great. The kids had the mexiacn pizzas, which were cheese covered tortillas. The margaritas were yummy, and the service was great. You can also buy discount gift certificates for Sloppy Jose's at restaurant gift certificates.com, which is a great value, and gives you a great excuse to go out to eat! I love Sloppy Jose's, and will definetly go back. I think they also have an all you can eat taco or fajita night, not sure what night that is though. They do have a website you can check.
