"But why would you even want to have a child's birthday party in a bar?" -- me, nearly every Sunday afternoon, when I'm just trying to sit in peace.

this is becoming A Thing in Greenpoint as the expensive strollers streamroll their way up from Williamsburg and I am sincerely curious as to how it became a trend in urban yuppie parenting? aren't the kids fucking bored?
I've encountered it at Diamond and Threes in recent weeks. The bartenders are baffled and annoyed. I THINK it's overflow from Spritzenhaus, the one place where it's been kinda ok (it's not, but everyone just accepts it). I mean, I get it, no one has a living room, but ugh.

Yeah, I guess I don't know where you'd go in the winter when it's too cold for a playground birthday, but a bar... would not be on my list? It seems like a way to proclaim your parental hipness?

There are 80 million places in NYC that cater to kids' parties. Pottery places, sports places, pet places...some expensive, yeah, some not so much. There are lots of alternatives.

But comparatively few, for now, in northern Greenpoint, right? (Unless I just don't pay attention to them, which is entirely possible)

Even schools rent out their gyms and other areas for parties, with teachers getting paid to run events/games for the kids.
