The space is large enough to fit all of us as well as setting up food and drinks for our party. Elena was very responsive and helpful from Day 1 and made the party planning very easy for us. The music they played was all the hits that were popular when we were in high school and college, and everyone was just having a great time and singing along. The instructor (I will update with her name) made the painting process so easy and fun for everyone regardless of everyone's skills or experience with painting! My coworkers still talk about it today about what a fun time they had. I would highly recommend this studio! Some good to know points: *Parking is street parking available or metered garage around the corner, metered parking down the road. Make sure you have quarters or dimes! 25 cents will give you 30 minutes, and after 7pm parking is free! *you can have food delivered to the studio! We ordered pizza and salads and drinks from "Ferrazoli's" in the area we were very happy! *Dont forget to bring wine and they have wine bottle openers! *they provide aprons... make sure you roll up your sleeves! *For large groups, you need to purchase 4 weeks in advance 10 tickets at $35 each Thanks PaintZone for making this a fun memorable experience!

A well-kept, clean space with lots of light and windows that can fit almost any theme. I recommend it.

I've been admiring the window art at Blossom Nail in Glen Cove for the past couple of years, and…read moreit's truly one of those little things that makes the neighborhood feel special. Yesterday, I finally had the chance to meet Jeanie and Roe of Art365ny as they were finishing up their latest holiday window painting, replacing the beautiful fall design I had been enjoying for weeks. They are incredibly talented artists with a real eye for color, detail, and seasonal charm. Watching them work and seeing how much pride they take in their craft made me appreciate the artwork even more. Their window designs at Blossom Nails--and at several other local stores--add so much warmth, beauty, and personality to Glen Cove.

We love this place!…read more My son is on lower end of the age range for the classes here but he is flourishing in the classes. It is a big confidence booster and as an added bonus he gets exposure to advanced math concepts he otherwise has not been taught yet. Also it is nice that parents can hang around during the weekend classes and sample the board games on hand. Highly recommend. Classes include pixel art, animation, and various types of game design. We have only dabbled in the art and animation so far but I am sure game design will be next on the list! BTW, the only parking is street parking but I have never had a problem getting a spot.

The biggest mistake we ever made was signing our 2 children under 2 up for lessons here. Let me…read morestart by saying, the staff were friendly when I initially signed up, but they're extremely disorganized and this is not a true swim class for toddlers. We signed up, and the first class we showed up to, our instructor was not there. No call, no show. I dragged two young kids (2.5 and 8m) to class, and the lady up front said he had an emergency. I said I understood, but no call or email? She claims she couldn't find my number. Regardless, she had my email as we emailed just the day prior, but I gave the situation a pass. Second class, we arrive, the instructor was cleaning the side of the pool. I sat on the bench, for 5-10 minutes with both kids as this guy, Mike, who runs the pool was obviously busier than the class I paid for. I was annoyed, as I was very adamant on a 9am start because my baby needs to nap, but I brushed it off and then the kids had their session. It was unorganized, no true class routine, but fine. I tossed it up to being different. Now, our third class. My husband decided to take my son, while I stayed home with my daughter as she was very tired and given this guys pattern, I didn't want to risk her losing it and screaming. So, my husband arrives, on time. Mike is no where to be found. My husband goes to the front lady Diane, she said he was in the bathroom. So he waits. He then texted me again, and asks where this guy could be and was he late for me prior? I said yes he was like 5mins or so late, but ask for him again. At this point it's been over 15 minutes, my son was running and hyper given he is 2 and my husband was quite upset. Mike comes strolling out roughly 20 minutes later, doesn't say sorry, acts like nothing and proceeds to say he needs to set up. Why exactly wasn't everything set up? That I don't know. Then my son is walking alone, next to a huge pool with out Mike paying any mind to him, and he was very nonchalant. My husband is now angry, and expels some words back and forth with Mike. He also expressed that our son wouldn't be taking this or any other lesson with someone who is not apologetic for his actions and barely paying any mind to a 2 year old next to a pool! With that, I wrote an email immediately and said our son will not return given Mike's disregard and care for the private sessions we paid for. Then, all of a sudden I get an email saying we aren't invited back due to my husband? Whatever if that makes them feel better- fine. We already emailed first and had zero intention of ever stepping foot into that disorganized mess of a place again. This place is beyond disorganized, and shouldn't offer private classes for children at all. Now, they are giving me the run around and trying to refund me partially as they claim the second session I should lose?? What? How is that fair? This man Mike was almost 20 minutes late (after two prior no show/late occurrences) and we should be okay with that service? No I don't think so. They claimed to mail a check, then did not (I have this all in writing). Then email me days later saying someone is going to show up to my house to drop a check in an hour?? What? Come to my house??Then this person shows up, with the wrong amount on the check. I was not accepting this because they felt it was the right number to them. Doesn't work that way. We were only provided 1 lesson, that was barely a lesson at that. Due to the refusal to offer the accurate refund of 7/8 classes- I plan to take this matter up with my credit card company. I initially submitted to PayPal, but didn't upload all emails. I will submit all emails, that show we were on a strict timeline start, all corresponding emails after and proof of his no show, late attendance. I highly recommend considering an alternative swim school for your kids- this place is a absolute waste of money and time. Plus, the classes are completely disorganized, much how they act themselves here.

We try to support vendors for our team events, but our experience with "Paint the Town" was chaotic…read morefrom start to finish. We booked a premium, full-service package for a team-building afternoon, but instead of relaxing, my team spent the entire time stressing, moving boxes, and cleaning up after the staff we hired. We aren't trying to be difficult clients; we simply wanted the service we paid for. Instead, we faced a massive burden: The setup was chaotic and late: For a group our size, the policy is a 40-80 minute setup window. The facilitator didn't show up until 1:33 PM for a 2:00 PM start. Her assistant didn't arrive until after the event started. We were left watching the clock, wondering if our event was even going to happen. We had to manage their logistics: The assistant arrived late and without ID. Since we are in a secure office building, she couldn't get in. Instead of the vendor handling this, my team had to stop what they were doing, leave the event space, and go down to the lobby to retrieve her and haul up the supplies she was carrying. Dismissive attitude: Mistakes happen, but the facilitator's attitude made it worse. She was dismissive about being late and shockingly unhelpful regarding her own assistant's supplies. At one point, when asked about the materials her assistant brought, she refused to help, telling us she "couldn't hang onto that." It felt like we were imposing on her, rather than the other way around. My team did the physical labor: Because they were so behind, the setup wasn't done until 2:30 PM--30 minutes into our paid time. To save the event, my colleagues and I had to step in and physically unpack boxes, set up stations, and distribute materials. We paid for a full-service event but ended up doing the heavy lifting ourselves. Contract issues: We paid extra for the "all new supplies" option so our team could keep their materials. Despite this, the facilitator packed up and took many of the paints and brushes back with her. They walked out on the mess: Despite the event starting late due to their tardiness, the facilitator refused to stay a minute past 4:00 PM. She started aggressively cleaning up while people were still painting, then bolted out the door right at 4:00, leaving us to finish the cleanup and break down the boxes. I cannot recommend this vendor. We paid for a fun, stress-free afternoon and instead received a chaotic experience where we had to work as the setup and cleanup crew.
