What’s a discriminating mum to do with her savvy offspring after the twenty-five-thousandth “I’m bored”? Sometimes you just need to get out of the house, but come August you’ve run out of creative choices. Well, say no more. We’ve just met the au courant mecca for moms. Welcome Sip and Kranz…a new hot spot for hot moms and their hep kids. This place is the bomb. It is such an amazing, swanky modern space with delectable snacks (not your typical milk and cookies). They have an entire glass-enclosed play area, where mom can relax and sip a latte (and soon even have a glass of vino) while the kids busily play around them. And you don’t even have to have kids to go here. Since the kiddles are in their sound-proof room, where incidentally they can do all the graffiti they want along the huge wall, other regular (and dare we say, “hot” guys) sip their coffee and strum their computers (yes, wi-fi!) in the mod easy chairs. Between the décor, the incredible food, the delish coffee, the atmosphere (which in our opinion is nearly everything) and the kid-friendly element, this is our new favorite place in the whole wide world. Plus you can stop by Nolita for some jeans (which are now on sale) just next door, and skip through the Jamison Park fountain. Re-route the playgroup! This outing can consume a whole day of fun&in style.
