No special physical fitness required; suitable for children ages 9-13.
Celebrate your child’s next birthday in New York City with a private, hands-on cooking party at Taste Buds Kitchen. Kids aged 9-13 cook, compete, and create in a safe, nut-free kitchen while parents relax.
Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes before the party start time to settle in and allow kids to get acquainted with the culinary space.
All menus are nut-free, but for other dietary restrictions call ahead to confirm accommodations to ensure everyone’s safety.
To keep the party focused, only one adult per child is allowed, except for the birthday child’s parents and grandparents.
Public transit is recommended due to limited parking; several bus and subway lines serve the Chelsea neighborhood nearby.
Chelsea, once an industrial neighborhood, has evolved into a vibrant hub of culture, art, and innovative food experiences, making it a fitting setting for culinary events.
Taste Buds Kitchen promotes sustainability by encouraging minimal food waste and sourcing ingredients mindful of environmental impact.
Wear easy-to-move-in clothing that can handle light kitchen messes.
Closed-toe, non-slip footwear is recommended for safety in the kitchen workspace.
While aprons are provided, kids can bring their own favorite apron for a personal touch.
Stay hydrated before and after the party, especially if traveling in warmer months.
