Answer
As much as we would love to celebrate with your little ones, our reception will be adults only. We encourage you to take the night off, let loose, and celebrate with us! Between capacity and the rooftop/outdoor areas being more than 20 stories above the ground, we feel most comfortable keeping the evening kid-free for everyone’s safety. We know arranging childcare may not always be easy, and we truly appreciate your understanding and making the effort to celebrate with us!
