Where to Host a Playdate For The Little Ones

It’s winter and the parks are off-limits for playdates for the little ones. If you’ve got a huge apartment with ample space in your living room for a big group of moms and kids, lucky you! For those of us who don’t or who aren’t ready to host so many little kids at home yet, there’s a new playdate place that isn’t going to cost a fortune even if you go every single day.

East Hotel has always been known as a family-friendly hotel and its restaurant Feast (Food by East) has been the go-to place for family brunches in the city. Now they’ve gone one step further to accommodate families with little ones during the winter with four playdate options.

Option 1: Breakfast

Every weekday from 7-10.30am adults can enjoy breakfast there for RMB 98 and their kids can play in the playroom for free.

Option 2: Lunch

They’re offering 10% off their RMB 198 lunch every weekday from 11.30-3pm. So when the adults eat, the kids can play.

Option 3: Afternoon Tea

On weekdays from 3-5pm the kids can play in the playroom while the grownups enjoy an afternoon tea and they’re also offering 10% off their RMB 218 set for two people.

Option 4: Just Play

For the parents who don’t feel like eating anything, They can now bring their kids to Feast just to play in the playroom every weekday from 3-5.30pm for just RMB 68 each time.

I don’t know about you, but having someone else clean up the toys after a playdate is much better than leaving your own living room looking like a Toys ‘r’ Us store after a 11.11 sale. So for me, Feast’s Just Play option is perfect!

The playroom is sanitized on a daily basis, there are cartoons to keep the kids entertained, and there are toys and books for kids of all ages to play with.
