Diamond in the Concrete Jungle
For those of you living in New York - you must make this your next rendezvous! When innovative mom, Tracy Stewart couldn't find an inspiring place to take her two kids - she opened her own! Moomah - a rustically chic modern, creative playscape for kids; a relaxing, beatific space for mom. Nestled in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan, Moomah aspires to bring kids to connect, discover, nourish, and create. Don't get thrown off by the cafe, which obviously is not of the kosher fare, skip that - and check out the rest of this wonderful zone: Piratepalooza music circles (with original moomah tunes), Gloga Classes (glow-in-the-dark yoga!), DIT (Do-It-Together, as opposed to DIY) tables - where you can select an art project to do with your kids, and receive all the materials and how-to etc. They even have their own mascot/super hero dubbed "SuperTryer" - who encourages all the kids to try new things! Stewart says the goal is to provide all the fun without setup and cleanup. Yes, there are moms sitting in the corners on the sofa sipping their lattes alone - but Stewart encourages moms not to think of Moomah as a baby-sitting service, there are enough of those in NYC - connect with your child and appreciate the joy that comes with it...
