Long Weekend already feels like the place the whole neighborhood spontaneously decided to meet up. This big, ranch-like Shady Acres hangout has the coolest kid-friendly restaurant setup in the city right now: a giant treehouse playground set among towering live oaks. If you have kids, this is the spot. If you don’t, it still works—just post up in the indoor dining room or side patio, away from the jungle gym chaos. The food is live-fire cooking with a fancy touch: chicken-fried wagyu with lemony cream gravy, perfectly cooked salmon you might have to fight your toddler over, and caviar-topped baby potatoes. Parents can grab a jalapeño-and-gin-spiked Trailblazer cocktail while the kids climb, then regroup at the table for wood-fired pizzas or porterhouse steaks. There’s also an attached café that opens daily at 8am with cortados and breakfast tacos if you want a quieter morning stop.
