Lunch while toddler naps in stroller? Date time!

This sounds absurd, but my husband and I would like to have a "date" while out toddler is napping in his stroller. Where can we go? Price no object but it's going to be a Saturday and we need to have enough space to bring in a reclined (but compact unbrella type) stroller. Noise isn't an issue...Help, we need your ideas! Is Dandelion a good place for this? Thank you!

    Parc outside was my first thought too. For other outdoor dining ideas, try here:

    Garces Trading Co. might also work, as there is a fair amount of room, especially at the high tables.

      I would recommend Parc, as you could eat outside and potentially not even have to fold the stroller.

      Dandelion's biggest issue is that it is in a narrow building, and you are going to have to negotiate at least one if not two flights of stairs. If that is not an issue, you should be able to get a table and have the baby next to you.

        Thanks, that's super helpful. We could bring it up the stairs with sleeping toddler but outdoors sounds a lot easier!
