For Kids: Potions and Planting Tea Party at GALLOW GREEN this Summer in NYC

Gallow Green at The McKittrick Hotel (542 West 27th Street), home of Sleep No More, will host a Children's "Potions & Planting Tea Party" on four upcoming Saturdays this summer, July 11, July 18, August 1 and September 12 at 10:00 a.m. atop The McKittrick located in Chelsea near The High Line. Boys and girls aged 6-11, as well as their favorite stuffed animal or teddy bear, are invited to join us in the garden for planting and potion-making with the garden's residents.

Children are encouraged to bring a recyclable bottle to make their own potions (with special powers) that they will be able to bring home; and the garden's residents will provide lessons in planting as well as offering take-home mini flower press, plant soil, and seeds so the children can teach others how to plant and seed. While all adults and young guests must have a paid reservation, dolls and teddy bears may enter free of charge and will get their own miniature seat and personalized bib.

Admission includes a traditional English high tea platter, refreshing pink lemonade, and hands-on lessons in potions and planting. For adults, Gallow Green's extensive cocktail and punch menu is available for purchase. For more information, please visit http://events.mckittrickhotel.com/childrenspotionsandplanting/

Gallow Green is but one of the features of The McKittrick Hotel, which also houses the immersive theater spectacle Sleep No More, the jazz-age inspired Manderley Bar, and the fine dining experience The Heath, a full-service restaurant. Notably, Gallow Green houses an aeroponic garden that produces vegetables all summer long to supply both Gallow Green and its sister restaurant, The Heath. The garden produces strawberries, lettuces of different size and color, summer squashes, cucumbers, tomatoes, and edible flowers and herbs. Most of the fruits and vegetables grown will also be used in the seasonal cocktails at Gallow Green and The Heath. For more information about The Heath, visit

The Heath, the restaurant inside The McKittrick Hotel just below Gallow Green, offers a fine dining experience created by Sleep No More creators Punchdrunk with a menu by Chef R.L. King, featuring his modern take on classic American and British fare. The Heath is open nightly Wednesdays through Saturdays. Both Gallow Green and The Heath are extensions of the immersive theatre production Sleep No More. Created by UK-based Punchdrunk and produced in New York by EMURSIVE, Sleep No More tells Shakespeare's classic tragedy Macbeth through a noir-inspired cinematic staging. Sleep No More is produced by EMURSIVE (Jonathan Hochwald, Arthur Karpati, and Randy Weiner, principals) in association with Rebecca Gold Productions. EMURSIVE produces immersive theatre in extraordinary places.
