MCNY and Piece of Cake Parties
Birthday parties at the Museum of the City of New York

The Museum of the City of New York has teamed up with Piece of Cake Parties to bring you innovative, exciting, and creative children's parties in a spectacular setting: the Museum of the City of New York's landmark building on Fifth Avenue's iconic Museum Mile.


Jenny Flax, creator and owner of Piece of Cake Parties, has over 15 years of experience in planning unique and clever parties for Manhattan’s most discriminating clients...our kids! Building on her years of developing hundreds of events for Toys "R" Us and FAO Schwarz and her extensive experience as a teacher at Manhattan's preeminent community music school, Jenny knows how to mix the key ingredients to make a truly memorable event. Piece of Cake Parties prides itself on exceptional creativity, impeccable attention to detail, and truly happy kids!
