Movement for Playtime New York

“Movement” is the theme for the 11th edition of Playtime New York (held from 1 – 3 August 2015) in Metropolitan Pavilion in the heart of Chelsea, New York. Movement because of the increasing numbers of brands and movement because of the increasing numbers of visitors. Some new, some returning.
