Now I can't say I would've chosen the workshop I did with my wife recently at this AR Workshop location (more on that in a moment), but choices aside, the experience was awesome and I'd definitely return in the future to make something else (which was the plan). You see, I actually bought a workshop for my wife and I to do as a 2-year anniversary gift. Cotton is apparently the gift type for that marriage year and so I got creative and chose the knitted pumpkin class for us both (I probably would've preferred something involving wood for myself, but it totally worked for what I needed it for). I could tell this was definitely more of a feminine-type class as I was the only guy there, but I never really felt out of place as everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Backtracking for a moment, this workshop location in Patchogue is a storefront I never noticed, just a few shops away from James Joyce. The interior has a ton of crafts and items already made all around the store to show you things that you could do at another class. A lot of local vibes too with Long Island as the theme for many crafts which was cool to see. The wall of tools and paint also showed that there are many different projects of varying difficulty. Though for this specific pumpkin class we really only needed two items: a styrofoam pumpkin and some chunky yarn. There were two long tables covered in a variety of colored yarn rolls with enough for my wife and I to vary our pumpkin colors (we were each allowed to make three). Honestly, I wasn't sure how we'd be making these pumpkins, but the woman in charge of the class (along with her daughter) explained that we'd be doing two different types. They each took charge of one of the long tables and were able to help with keeping us on pace with directions, helping to fix errors (it was nice for the woman to say almost everything is fixable), and giving us support. Once done, there was a table of flowers, feathers, ribbon, and small wood pieces to pep up your pumpkins if you choose to do so (I gave mine a little pizzaz, but kept things simple). The whole class ran about 2 hours which was definitely enough time and we could have even stayed a few minutes longer as we were not being rushed out which was nice. Overall, AR Workshop in Patchogue is definitely a fun time. Their options for crafts and projects seem vast and with a friendly and helpful staff, I'd happily return, which I told my wife she could pick out another class as a part of the anniversary gift (though something without cotton next time around!). Definitely check out AR if you're looking for something a little different, but entirely enjoyable.

I hired Happy Little Brush Strokes as a painting activity for a bachelorette party, and the company was so easy to work with from start to finish. I reserved my date several months in advance because their calendar fills up quickly! You're able to choose one of the paintings from their website and adapt it to what you need. I chose to paint full-sized wine bottles (and place fairy lights inside of the bottle so it lights up!) since the bachelorette party was "wine themed." The price was $30 per person for the experience. I believe if you choose to paint a canvas, it's $25 per person. Happy Little Brush Strokes came all the way out to Greenport, Long Island to do this activity. The instructor, Bob, was an absolute delight, who was filled with so much positive energy! He provided everything we needed for the event (paint, brushes, water cups, the wine bottles, fairy lights). The only thing we needed to provide were tables, table cloths, and chairs for our group of 7. The experience took just over two hours, and everyone had an amazing time!

Long island glass is so invested in doing weekly events, that they have the worst customer service I think I've honestly ever seen & rarely ever update the glass showroom with new stuff. When you go to the shop to look at the showroom to buy something, nobody is ever there to even greet you or help you... everyone is in the back in the studio smoking & blowing glass. You have to ring a doorbell just so someone will come out into the actual shop to help you... I've sat in the store for a good 15 minutes before someone even recognized I was there. Trying to get something repaired is a joke and your better off not even bothering. Ive been waiting 2 years at this point just to get a rig repaired & it still isn't done... I've seen car restorations that are faster how? I've even spoke to joe.p numerous times in person to be told it would be fixed by a certain date, just to be continuously lied too directly to my face. I've contacted them on Instagram to have my messages left on read. I've even called their business number on google & the woman who answers isn't helpful at all cause I'm almost positive she doesn't actively work at the studio or has any clue what's going on. It got to the point where she had to literally contact joe just to respond to my messages on Instagram. I will 100% never be doing business with this place ever again & will make sure to tell everyone I know to never deal with this place. If this is how they treat people who support their art, they lost a customer. Not currently recommended reviews

ABC Gum Wall was also recommended to me by Robert L. It's something you can't miss. My friend's…read moreHusband decided to check it out while we were finished with dinner at Mangia Mangia since the address showed it was just a few doors down. A couple of minutes later he came back and couldn't find it. So, off we go in search for this Gum Wall that the kids were so anxiously awaiting to see. Me too but I definitely wasn't going to admit THAT!! We go into the Patchogue Theatre of Performing Arts which was directly next to the restaurant. We spotted a sign about the Gum Wall outside of this Theatre but nobody there seemed to know what I was talking about. I asked three people and they never heard of it. I went outside again to read this poster making sure it did exist and it obviously did. Well, two other children at this point caught on to what we were trying to find and somehow convinced their parents to find it too because now the thirteen of us were walking up and down the street looking for this stupid wall. At last, we found it. A little alley right next to the Congregational Church. Very big problem, we forgot the gum. These two stranger children and their parents were now running towards this Gum Wall and our kids are now starting to get hysterical. Thank G-d my friend's Husband spotted a convenience store across the street and we are now all starting to run towards this wall, our kids screaming with excitement. We were actually standing there for a while deciding what shape to make our piece of "Art". Our kids were so amazed that we were actually letting them do this and even more amazed when they watched us doing the same thing!! It was very interesting to see what everyone was going to put up there and of course my perverted friend had to make hers stand out. It was a lot of fun and a chance to be a kid again if only for 5 minutes. Again, a very big "Thank You" to Robert L. and a "Must See", if anything, just to view my Friend's "creation" (if it's still up there when you go)!!
