I came here for Paint night and found this place mediocre. The only reason I didn't give it 1 star…read morewas because they were very reasonable about the price. Things to note: - Painting that was online and the one in the class were pretty different. There was a huge simplication - Lack of teaching - our instructor barely spent time teaching and did miss multiple steps (i.e. helping teach people how to blend out the colors) - You can get a discount with PULSD vouchers for $29 a piece - BYOB - There isn't a water fountain here. So, make sure you bring extra water - They do a terrible job with time management and rush you out of the site ASAP. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC

Playday, a local business, is owned by a generous resident who has shown tremendous support to the…read morecommunity. Particularly during the pandemic, they provided art kits to encourage people to continue their artistic pursuits at home. Being a supporter of small businesses and the arts, I enrolled my kids in Playday for several years and had positive experiences. They participated in art, chess, and music classes, as well as the half-day option. While I appreciate the efforts made by Playday to make improvements, I still eagerly anticipate further enhancements to their online system. Additionally, I hope that Playday will market their offered services and deals through emails and various social media platforms more often. Such efforts would greatly benefit customers like myself. Playday staff are understanding and accommodating with kids illness. This level of flexibility and consideration is something Playday consistently offers, ensuring that your money is well-spent. In addition, the location's proximity to the 7 subway station and the availability of outdoor classes in their backyard add to the convenience and appeal. Overall, I recommend giving Playday a try as the business contributes positively to the community. Also, they have locations in North Jersey, Brooklyn and Manhattan.

In order for you to get into the book signing you had to make a purchase at the bookstore. The line for the bookstore was extremely long. I waited in line for almost 2 hours. It was hot that day and the AC units in the building weren't doing enough. This building is big but I felt as though they didn't utilize the space appropriately. I was able to get my books signed and that was enough for me. The team in charge of this festival needs to get organized and work better as a team.

They even clean their pens between visitors! I'd never been to this theater before but it was a really magical experience -- literally! New Orleans voodoo style. I recently read the book "in the garden of good and evil" (i think that's the name) and that book gave me a whole new appreciation for this inventive tarot art experience. Garden of Eden is an immersive art experience with a dab of museum, a dollop of that really cool crazy aunt/grandmother's house, a spoonful of voodoo, a sprinkle of theater, a dash of fortune telling, and a splash of other world halloween creepies. While the price tag may seem hefty, remember you are supporting a wide variety of professionals and keeping alive theater during the economic crush of covid. Please keep in mind this space is not optimized for people with mobility needs. There are stairs and narrow passages. Also this space is not a good fit for children. It's really meant to be for people who are comfortable carefully maneuvering around tight spots and being gentle with their surroundings.

Staff is very friendly and the ladies room is wonderful. If you can get a performance or event here, you should jump on that opportunity.

It feels more like a Brooklyn venue with the cleanliness of Manhattan.
