(1) is there a women’s gym or pool that one can buy a guest pass and drop into?
(2) cheapest restaurants? Something really basic and comfortable with little kids

Gym: the gym in GG north plaza offers a day pass option. They have a pool.
Restaurant: there aren't really any restaurants that are family friendly like you describe. There are plenty of nicer pizza stores and fast food places with seating. If you're looking for that, I can give you some names.

What is the name of the gym so I can google directions?
We are staying by family but I don’t think my sister in law has ever stepped foot in a gym so she thinks I am crazy that I am looking for one just for one week. 😂
A fast food place with seating is good, basically I told her we will eat out for Thursday night dinner so just something more filling than pizza that won’t break the bank and we won’t get dirty looks if we are noisy.

The gym is just called the The Gym. in Gourmet glatt plaza, 1700 Madison Ave

For fast food I’d try either Snaps, Glatt Bite or Dlux. Of those three, Glatt Bite is cheapest I believe

Which part of Lakewood are you staying in?

When I visit family on the south end of town, I've gone to a different women's gym on a day pass. No pool, though.

I guess we have different definitions of restaurant. I consider it a restaurant if there are servers and assigned seating. Otherwise it is a fast food place with seating.

Pizzano brings food to the table and serves with actual cutlery. There are more family places like that, just can't think right now Can't Believe It

Hmm... now that I think about it, there really aren't any other places like that. It's either take out style, or fancy (pricey). Hard to find the middle ground 🤔
