Hang Out with Your Kid's Favorite Entertainers at Little Airplane Cafe
There's a great new little venue for kids concerts and other children's entertainment in Lower Manhattan. Little Airplane Cafe isn't actually a cafe at all. It's the production studio of the animation company that makes children's television favorites like The Wonder Pets. For the past year Little Airplane Productions has been giving NYC families in the know free tours of their studio so kids can see what goes into making Lenny, Tuck and Ming Ming come to life.
Now Little Airplane has opened a small performance space with some great shows. The space is incredibly intimate. Seeing Laurie Berkner in the space's inaugural performance feels like hanging out with your favorite kids artists in their living room with a back-stage pass for everyone. Everyone sits on the floor and the space was a little bit overfilled, but the kids could not have been more thrilled. After the show there was a radio interview where Laurie answered kids' questions and then she hung out and said hi to everyone who hung around. Kids got their pictures taken and lots of hugs were shared.

The next show is Milkshake, a really fun rock band for kids, on Sunday, July 26th. Tickets are still available and I love that they are only $8 in advance or $10 at the door, but the space is small so I wouldn't count on just dropping by.
Little Airplane Studios
207 Front Street in the South Street Seaport
Doors open at 12:30 pm with the concerts beginning at 1:00 pm.
