Best places for kids' birthday parties
Newsday, 2007 / Ari Mintz
Birthday parties have come a long way since kids played Pin the Tail on the Donkey in the basement and blew out their candles after an off-key rendition of "Happy Birthday."
Today, children want to acknowledge their special day in a big way, whether that means inviting friends to a bowling party, glamorous tea party, or an hour of go-kart riding. And, if you look at the range of places offering birthday parties -- from ballet studios to ice cream stores -- it's obvious that most parents seem more than happy to oblige.
