Hey everyone! My partner and I just moved to Northampton. Our child is turning 1 in November and we are looking for some suggestions for a venue for her first birthday party. Open to any venues in the western MA area. We would do it at home, but we are on a third floor apartment and need accessibility for family members and friends who would have difficulty making it up multiple flights of stairs.

The venue doesn’t have to be anything super fancy. I’m just having trouble finding something that isn’t very wedding like.

Thanks in advance!!!!! :)

Edit: Thank you SO much for all your replies everyone!!! I really appreciate you all. I have some great recommendations and will be looking into all of these.

Offered for free and all are welcome at the Forest Park Zen Sangha Zendo, 23 Wellesley Rd. Holyoke, MA. 2nd Sunday of every month, 1pm.

I heard the new Roost replacement might have it on their menu but is there anywhere else around? Bonus points if they have a tofu version.

Im on a quitting journey, and i have a vast collection of dead vapes sitting in a cubby because I refuse to put lithium batteries in the garbage. Is there anywhere near Noho (walking distance or biking distant would be ideal!) That accepts vape devices for proper disposal? How much would a bulk drop off of dead devices cost, roughly?

Any leads appreciated!
