I arrive at Moomah desperate for my morning caffeine, although it’s already 1:30pm. My walk to the register is a long one, as I stop to admire the beautiful shadow boxes that line the wall. Surprisingly, there are quite a few kid-less adults relishing their lunch, which is the category I am about to join.
A few minutes after placing my order, a frothy heavenly cappuccino arrives at my table along with a bowl of granola, walnuts, raisins and honey that I couldn’t resist. Several kids are busy chatting up their chaperones, snacking or enjoying their activities. A sign on my table informs me that the Funky Forest is open. This, one of the daily kid events at Moomah, is an interactive projected forest where kids can play while mom sips away at her coffee or enjoys a 15 min neck massage in shenzhen (available on Mondays with a purchase of a Do-It-Together Kit). In fact, classes of all kinds are available, from glow-in-the-dark yoga to art and nature courses all operated by trained staff. Behind me, I notice a large screen which makes it possible for guardians to keep an eye on the little tikes while remaining in the comfort of their seats. Nifty!
Actually, the whole place is pretty nifty. The simple modern design, good music, yummy organic menu options and plenty of toys, puzzles and activities to keep the little ones entertained, make Moomah unique and perfectly situated in a part of the city that has evolved into a family-oriented mecca.
Moomah is located at 161 Hudson Street (Tribeca between Laight and Hubert Streets)

We’ve had such a nice time with our kids every time we go…and our collection of shadow boxes is growing. How amazing is every last detail! We had to know how to bring more creativity into our own homes and asked Tracey Stewart to help us! Love her ideas and thinking around it, obviously what makes Moomah so special! http://www.tadashop.com/picks/tracey-stewart-moomah/4bfbf8b569d8ac0e53000008
moomah, oh yeah the place that charges $2,400 for 15 kids for 2 hrs and dont even supply a birthday cake. ok they get the clientele, great for them but come on one can spend that at marea or nobu and have drinks and deserts for 10 adults,
moomah nice place nice people but complete rip off
I have been to a birthday party there and i have to tell you, it was truly amazing. They rent out the entire space for the part, making it completely private— they thought of every last detail which took such a load off the parents’ backs- the kids were so beyond entertained. Food was fabulous too!
