That hotel has a great brunch, unless things have changed.
Flushing Chinatown, IMHO >>> Manhattan Chinatown at this point. Curious if Pilot agrees.
You almost cant go wrong wandering Manhattan and looking for interesting things, to be honest. The food and shopping are endless really.
If the kids are young, FAO Schwarz store is still there. Not the same, but still a neat thing for kids to see and the uber Apple store (with the giant glass cube) is right outside.
That Afghan street vendor is really good actually, and there are a few other "famous" street food guys as well. Hard to recommend street food though. When you're born and raised there and spend 39 years, you start looking for stuff to try. But for a vacation, Id stick with any of the awesome restaurants. There is something in every price range and cuisine that is worth trying (especially if you expand into the boroughs)
Brooklyn and Queens both have a lot to offer both culturally and in terms of cuisine, but I cant say I fully recommend straying from Manhattan on your first trip. The boroughs can be a challenge logistically even when you know them like the back of your hand.
