Located at 291 Broadway, 5^th floor (corner of Reade Street). Classes Monday- Saturday, with no need to book in advance. -IW

Skating in the Sky at the W Hotel Downtown

Posted January 17, 2011 By babesta

Have you ever skated in the sky? Now you can at the W Hotel Downtown, as expected, a pretty groovy place down on Washington Street @ Albany. The balcony skating rink is a lot of fun for a winter afternoon- the ice isn't real and the skating surface is small (the size of a suburban walk in closet, I'd estimate), but the festive-ness is fabulous. Take the elevator up to the fifth floor check in and walk to the end of the dimly lit bar. It's funky inside with lounge seating , ottomans and little round cocktail tables. Pay at the bar and grab your skates at the desk, then loop around the balcony until you hit the rubber mats. Take in the views – you're looking right down on the WTC construction, into a sea of cranes. It's surely the most unusual place to scooterpush, T-stop and the rest. There's not enough room for a walz jump or triple axel – please don't try it! They say it maxes out at 15 skaters, but I'd hesitate to say that four is plenty. After your fill, turn in your skates and flop down at the lounge and order hot chocolate and french fries. The room has an apres ski vibe – a bit of camaraderie amongst those brave enough to take a silly feeling whirl around the Flor-style balcony rink.

Tribeca Grill’s Baby and Me Lunch

Posted November 17, 2010 By babesta

The Service Manager at Tribeca Grill stopped by today to let us know about their new Baby and Me Lunch. It's BYOB (baby that is) every Tuesday from 1:30-3:00pm and meet and greet other local parents with similarly aged kids. There's a special lunch menu to boot. Sounds like an excellent parent playdate to us!

Tribeca Grill is co-owned by renowned restaurateur Drew Nieporent and legendary actor Robert De Niro. It's definitely a 'classic Tribeca' establishment – 20 years strong. Tribeca Grill is at 375 Greenwich Street at the corner of Franklin.
