North Randolph Avenue

Honestly, the location is what makes this spot work — you’ve got the Neal Recreation Center right there, so it’s easy to tack on some playground time before or after whatever you came for. Grab food nearby, let the kids burn off some energy, check a few things off the list. It’s the kind of place you end up at because it’s convenient, and that’s not a bad thing. Bryan families in this part of town probably already know about it.
