Pizza, Playtime & Prizes in Allentown

Looking for a family-friendly restaurant where you don't even watch your kids? Okay, well you can sort of watch them ... play that is. Boston's Restaurant & Sports Bar near Fogelsville is putting the fun back into going out to dinner with your kids.

No longer do you have to cringe when the kids start whining in public or have to tell them to, "sit down and eat." Just lettem' play! And, enjoy your meal while the awesome staff entertains your kids. Boston's recently kicked off their Kids' Corner and we had to go check it out.

Kids' Corner is every Thursday from 5:00 to 8:15 p.m. in their Allentown location, where I-78 meets route 100. Kids can choose from a great menu designed just for them: chicken bites, personal pizza, spaghetti and meatball, mac-n-cheese or mini cheeseburgers. The best part ... your mini-yous eat FREE with the purchase of an adult entrée. Personally, I just love the Mediterranean salad.

"We want to have a more family feel," said Amber, a Boston's employee and organizer of the evening. And, they nailed it!

The kids played games, got their faces painted (well, my daughter actually got her arm painted), made puppets, colored, blew bubbles, and won prizes. Honestly, I trusted the Boston's team to watch my oldest while I chatted with a good friend and fed the baby. It was almost like having a GNO (girls' night out).

There were balloons inflated around the designated "kids' area" and our girls each plucked one on our way out. We also left with a fab goodie bag filled with trinkets, treats and coupons -- one for 20% off a catering order and the other for a free kid's meal.

The only downside to the evening was that my five-year-old barely ate and wanted to play the entire time we were there ... I suppose that's what take-home containers are for! Thank you to Boston's for hosting Kids' Corner. I have a feeling we'll be back.

Leave with a great coupon!
