I would recommend going for the pens as those are more or less comparable to art supply stores pricing. The staff are friendly and will aid you in choosing what you desire.

When you walk in you can select the type of jewelry youd like to make. You have a selection of bracelets, necklaces, Keychains and wine charms - all are reasonably priced. They have a range of sterling silver and gold coated jewelry. Even a selection of bracelets that can be cut to size. You get a little tray and put all the charms youd like on your jewelry. The variety of charms is impressive - anything from landmarks to disney characters. Once you have your charms you bring to the ladies and they take some time to assemble and size up and build your jewelry. They do offer repair services. Due to the nature of the business you do have to wait or make appointments but the service is wonderful.

I had a wonderful experience taking an iced matcha class at Kettl on Monday! I signed up for the…read moreclass before I got to NY and was able to work it into my busy schedule of being a cool aunt. My brother and I walked around the Greenpoint area and then he had to go pick up his kiddo from camp, so I explored the area then put Kettl into google maps thinking I was coming early for class to avoid the rain. I accidentally went to the wrong location and then it started pouring. The staff told me the other location was 10 minutes away by foot, so I hauled myself to it in pouring rain. Luckily I wore workout clothes and tennis shoes that day, but my raincoat was water resistant, not waterproof, so I got pretty soaked. I still arrived a few minutes early, and the staff let me take some napkins to dry myself off. The class was at the bar in the back of this flagship location. It was set up for two, but I was the only person who showed. Jayanna led me through a very detailed class, provided handouts and a soba tea cookie along with water, and answered a ton of questions I had. As a daily matcha maker, I knew I had a lot to learn. She showed me how to care for the different tools used to make matcha. We made three preparations: sparkling matcha, shaken matcha, and matcha latte. We went through each with various steps and measurements. She demonstrated what to do and then I would make the drinks for both of us. It was a very fun experience and I learned a lot. I also got to shop after the class with a 15% discount, so I got myself a custom single cultivar matcha called okuju made exclusively for Kettl and especially for lattes, and then some individually wrapped fancy tea bags of matcha genmai and hojicha for Eric when he travels. The class had an hour and a half of instruction and I spent a half hour asking about products and shopping. It is a very nice space and I would love to try some of the unique drinks on the menu plus take more classes. If you love matcha and learning, I recommend taking a class here or at the LA location if you are on the west coast!

Kettl is a bit overrated imo. I tried the shirakawa matcha latte, their highest grade for matcha…read morelattes. I thought it was decent, but I feel like it could've been stronger. It also wasn't creamy enough for a latte. The shiso white peach matcha soda was a fun experimental drink, but I feel like for a matcha drink, the matcha flavor was definitely dominated by the shiso and white peach flavors. It was really refreshing though for a hot summer day. Super adorable store! I want to try the matcha tasting one day!

I've been around this cafe so much but had never gone in or considered their coffee before. I'm so…read moreglad I did this time! This is a great shop to search for the right holiday gift. I didn't end up grabbing anything, but I'm still thinking about some of the mugs I saw inside. They have a flower bar at the back which was interesting to me, but I didn't partake this time around. I picked up their hot "Pumpkin, pumpkin latte" and was pleasantly surprised. I wouldn't recommend it to the espresso purist, but I thought it tasted lovely and was perfect for a stroll through Greenpoint on the first snow day in NYC this winter. They also offered some pastries but I'm a butter purist and they were vegan, so I did not partake. This isn't a sit down shop by any means, it's definitely a place to stop in then keep it moving. I see they have a back patio but this wouldn't be the best time of year to explore it.

Reason I went back today had to buy these cat nip toys for my cats. Lockwood has a good selection of cat toys. Also, I can never leave without buying one of those gel pens "Le Pen." I know. Why not order them in Amazon, but why should I? The way Lockwood displays their stationary is just so tempting not to buy a few. The candle selection is good quality. I bought one called "Sinner" and for the size my home smells great. I wish they can bring more esoteric items and place them all in one place. That would be cool. The associate at the register was really nice and cheerful. Can anyone guess the next time I drop by again?
