Perilla (CLOSED)

Well-behaved, gastro-curious older kids will feel the most comfortable on a night out at Top Chef winner Harold Dieterle’s intimate West Village restaurant. Let them try the house-made ricotta cheese with squash tempura, grilled bread and truffle honey ($13), while you linger over spicy duck meatballs with mint cavatelli and a quail egg ($15). The brood won’t let you leave until they’ve dug spoons into the “Take Five” sundae ($10) loaded with dulce de leche, chocolate fudge, pretzels, praline and peanut butter ice cream.
