Infant-friendly chow in West Village?
My 9-month old daughter and I are visiting my parents who are new to the West Village in early December. Any tips on chow-worthy restaurants in the area? We have a slight preference for ethnic and want to avoid anything that is out-of-this-world expensive. Thanks!

my infant was not that portable as a 9 month old, and the place i found most straightforward to navigate was chelsea market. the 14th st subway has elevators, so you can schlepp around a stroller; the green table (which serves good local, seasonal fare) has a large table outside the restaurant, where you can engage a potentially disruptive baby without disrupting others.

Thanks so much for the suggestions! We will definitely check out the market.

Chelsea Market is about as baby-friendly as it gets but, if you want a real restaurant and prefer ethnic, how about Grand Sichuan (Chinese)? It's on 24th and 9th so may be a little out of your way but the food is great and they won't object to a baby. Alternately, Gradisca (Italian) on 13th between 6th and 7th LOVES babies and the food and restaurant are sophisticated enough to keep the adults happy. Those are our favorite spots when dining out with our daughter.

Thanks! This is perfect! I think we will check out the market for lunch and try Grand Sichuan and Gradisca for a couple of dinners. Much appreciated!
