Parent Talk: Should Slope Restaurants Have Kid-friendly Menus?

Join the conversation.

Parent Talk is a new feature on Park Slope Patch, part of an initiative that aims to better address the questions and needs of local Slope families. We invite you and your friends to help us build a community of support for families.

Each week in Parent Talk, we will take your questions, give advice and share solutions.

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.
Parent Talk will also be the place to drop in for a talk about the latest parenting hot topic.
