Healthy party food is a rarity at NYC birthday parties, which makes one wonder… “How could I possibly try to serve anything other than pizza, soda and cake?”
If serving healthy food at your child’s NYC birthday party sounds risky, then I get it. The last thing I’d want at my child’s birthday party is a room full of kids planning a rebellion!
