I was going to mention the chirping chicken as well... But there are plenty of options
Celeste - great Italian food, pizza Ansterdam btw 84th & 85th.
Diner on same block as Beacon, another 2 blocks downtown, plenty of other full restaurants in the area
The Chirping Chicken on Amsterdam is really good and kid friendly.
Diner next door on corner, My Most Favorite Food on 72 street between Broadway and West end Ave
Around the corner on 48th Street is a Five Guys burger and Chipotle. Otherwise Times Square has many. Virgil BBQ / Stardust Diner.
