To the Manor Born

Monkey see, monkey do is the general rule with moppets.

But despite your stellar example, when it comes to table manners your little darling could use a dose of decorum.

Teach your tot proper politesse with Brooklyn Cafe’s Manners in the Restaurant dinner.

Gather a group of your kiddie’s compatriots, and then schedule a behind-the-scenes tour of the restaurant covering everything from the basics (no running, puh-leease) to how to talk to a server, plus a few fun extras like working the soda gun. The menu includes a variety of kid-friendly fare (yummy pasta), but the main dish is a class in courtesy.

Napkin in lap, elbows off the table. Now dig in.
