Outside of the two museums which both have great exhibits, we have Otto's Shrunken Head, the Rusty Knot, the Zombie Hut, King Yum, and Jade Island. If you want to bring your son somewhere your best bet is Jade Island in Staten Island. It is your typically Polynesian/Chinese joint in a strip mall. Food is decent as are the drinks. A new one on the map is Jeepney which is a Filipino restaurant. Every Tuesday they have Tiki Tuesday. No real tiki decor, but the drinks are great and food is excellent. There are few places in New Jersey if you are renting a car. Rent is so high here in NYC that a lot of places fail before they ever really have a chance. My of my favorite places to catch live music just closed when their rent hit $40k a month! I love this city, but sometimes things are just out of hand.
