Washington D.C. is a very popular place for tourists to visit, though sometimes the food choices here may seem quite un-friendly for the kids. Between expensive pubs, historic eateries, and politician-filled restaurants, you may be scratching your head wondering where you can take your family to eat that is both kid-friendly and cheap.

Here we suggest seven restaurants that you can visit and enjoy your time with your kids.

Urbana & Firefly

These two Kimpton hotel restaurants know what children love. Urbana offers a build -your- own pizza option, while Firefly lets kids decorate a cookie that’s baked and brought back to the table.
