Cafe Mogador does a great brunch
Forcella for deep fried pizza
Momofuku Ssam/noodle/milk bar
Zabb Elee for spicy ThaiMuch more casual

Xi'an famous foodsNeed reservations
Dirt candy (inventive vegetarian)There are tons of casual inexpensive Italian places. When I lived in the area Gnocco and Max were my favorites but I haven't been for years. Frankie's Spuntino has since opened up, and is close to where you'll be but not in the immediate area.

I love this place. I have only been to 2 brunches with my 3 yr old daughter but the food is really good especially for the prices they charge. (loved their bread
)I've heard great things about their dinner too.
Then there is Chinatown brasserie and tons of good Japanese places.
Also, Cafe Orlin is always popular...then thre is Luke's lobster and the mermaid inn.But you need to be more specific..as this area has tons of good restaurants with tons of options. As there are a lot of college kids in this area, i don't think you will have any problem bringing your teenagers to most restaurants.

There are dozens of options in that neighborhood, so you need to be more specific. How old are your kids? How much do you want to spend per entree? How many people in your party? What kind of food do you & your kids like?

re: swish3
"I want decent food but don't want to spend a fortune."
That's still rather vague because (a) you haven't told us what kind of food you and your kids prefer, and (b) what constitutes not spending a fortune can vary considerably depending on the depth of one's wallet. That said...
Motorino, on 12th, b/t 1st and 2nd
Momofuku Ssam Bar, on the corner of 2nd & 13th

re: RGR
RGR of course is providing top picks for quality at a very reasonable price point. If you are limited to the area around the theatre, the north side of St Marks between 2nd and 3rd has a whole bunch of fun, but not RGR-quality, Asian joints. There's a couple of Japanese snack places (full of college students, the east-most one you walk down a couple of stairs to enter), an Asian noodle joint (closer to 3rd), and, our go-to, Grand Szechuan (mid-block, up a flight of stairs). There's also Spot Dessert Bar for afterwards. I think there's also a new sticky bun place, but not sure where on St Marks it is.

re: Andy T.
"...but not RGR-quality, Asian joints."
LOL! I have nothing against Asian joints, but I'm not familiar with the places you mention because I eat relatively little Asian food. I like Thai. I've been to the upscale Japanese Kyo Ya and enjoyed it, though I was picky regarding which dishes I was willing to eat. Don't care much for Chinese (except for soup dumplings and Peking duck). A sushi excursion is on my "to do" list.
I've been to Spot Dessert and disliked two of the three items we tried. But that was when Pichot Ong still owned the place, so I have no idea what the desserts are like now.
