1st Birthday question...

I thought I had posted a response to this but it seems not . . . It it is not in the area but check out The Old Stone House. We had my sons 1st birthday party there and it was lovely. They charged $200 flat for the room rental. We ordered in bagels and dairy platters (tuna fish, egg salad, etc) from a place they recomended. We brought in soda, juice, water, etc. We got the room and had some time to set up and had to leave it broom clean. They do not have a full kitchen to prepare food but there is a fridge and a sink. It is right next to a park and there is an interesting museum dedicated to the Battle of Brooklyn downstairs. The times to use the room like this are limited but if you can work within that I feel it is the best bang for your buck. I picked up a plastic tablecloth roll and cut them to size. I purchased a disposable helium tank (they sell them at party stores or BJ's and Costco) and balloons for easy decorations and the cake came from BJ's (they sell a 1/4 a sheet cake vs the half sheet cake minimum at Costco). Honestly I can't say anything but great things about our experience there.
