We were there for a while because I was doing a 2 color polka dot pattern on my mug that took a little bit of time. The environment was nice and though it was a little crowded we still managed to find a place to sit with lots of options. My disappointment actually stems from the final product I picked up. I picked two specific colors for my pattern, blue and green, and made the cup black. I asked the woman working multiple times about the colors and with the dots if I needed to go over them multiple times to make sure the color came out right. I was told no and that the pattern and colors looked great and would turn out great. To my surprise when I picked up my cup there was not a single drop of blue anywhere to be seen. Not even a little bit. I am so sad and disappointed because I had not only specifically asked about the colors but if I would have known the blue would not have shown I would have went with a different color. The cup to me looks like it's missing something, because it is, but other people seem to like it. But I'm just super disappointed and wish that when I had asked I would have been told that's not a color you can do with black. Because I obviously had no idea and spent a good amount of time trying to make it perfect. I wanted to include pictures to show what it looked like when I left it and when I picked it up. If I can recommend anything it's for the employees to help with transparency when helping people start their project and expectations on that. I paid for 2 mugs that day so almost $50 and I just got disheartened when I picked mine up. I would still recommend this place as it's super cute and is still a fun day activity. Just wish I would have known about the colors while painting.

Sunshine and pleasant temps get the masses out and about. It all takes place downtown in Binghamton, spanning a number of blocks. Dozens of shops stay open late to accompany dozens of galleries for their monthly night of glory. You'll also find live music and dance performances. We have some truly excellent talent in this town. For instance, Anthony Brunelli and Orazio Salati are quite well known and respected in the art world. Their studios also feature the works of other very talented artists, some are local and others are imported from NYC galleries. Many galleries also feature local students' work. There is a little bit of something for everyone! The Van Zandbergen's new studio at the train station features beautiful photography. It's a nice way to spend a night out in Binghamton, grab a bite to eat or a drink at one of the many great downtown restaurants with friends.

First Fridays February vs First Fridays July. I'm all about the smackdown challenges and this one's…read moregoing to be a bloodbath. No contest here. A little backstory. First Fridays is a monthly arts event taking place on (you guessed it) the first Friday of every month. There are about 36 gallery locations throughout downtown Binghamton that open their doors and feature all sorts of artwork. The concept is great and I fully support it. It's been a major force in the revitalization of downtown, a process that is still underway but making great progress. So let's introduce our first Challenger - First Friday February. This was my 1st First Friday. The night was cold. It was fully dark at 6:00pm (when the festivities start), and we weren't sure where all the venues were. My wife and I ventured out into the deserted streets of downtown Binghamton, determined to find some art. At 6:10pm, nothing seemed to be happening on Washington Street, the advertised epicenter. We traveled over to State Street and found some 2nd Floor galleries and a smallish crowd mingling. The art wasn't steller and the mood seemed somber, rather than celebratory and fun. We walked away from the evening discouraged and dissapointed. Fast forward to First Fridays July. Totally different story. It was warm, sunny (what a difference weather makes). Tons of people were out on the streets. We wandered up State Street (two blocks up from main) and found a great concentration of galleries. Some of the art was very enjoyable. There was plentiful food and wine. We also found Binghamton's new art theater "The Art Mission", which I am excited about and will be writing a review of shortly. So First Fridays is a very enjoyable event. I highly recommend it. Now in our smackdown challenge, who is the victor? No contest, I assure you. The event is much better and more populated during the summer months (no surprise). With many gallery shows, sometimes the crowds seem more interested in the free food/wine and people watching than the art itself, but that goes with the territory. So definitely check out First Fridays and support your local artists.

Everything about this place is on-theme, right down to the items on the menu. While the food is definitely bar fare, don't underestimate it; every single one of their offerings is crafted to perfection! My favorites include the Sauer Loser hotdog (mouth-watering combo of sauerkraut and mustard on all beef franks) and the Flamin' Hot Smothered Cheetos (an elevated take on the spicy snack)! As for drinks, they have a fun array of game-themed cocktails and mocktails. Yes, you heard right, mocktails! And they are all incredible. My favorite is the Wowza Bowzer mocktail, which has a little bit of a kick with habanero bitters. The Waka-Waka-Waka cocktail (mule) features a Pac-Man shaped lemon slice eating a cherry, which is a fun touch! But, as we know, we come for the food and stay for the games, so what's available? Well, they have over 30 vintage games ranging from arcade classics like PacMan and Mortal Combat to more interactive favorites like DDR, hoops, and racing games (check out their website for a full listing). Plus, a couple pool tables and a few chill spots in the 2-story location (which includes a few quiet nooks with seating between the floors). While this space is definitely kid-friendly, it is only open to 21+ after 9pm, which provides a great experience for families and night crawlers alike!

I've been coming to the Binghamton area my entire 45 years and I love it. Ithaca, Watkins Glen,…read moreTioga Gardens, Greenwood Lake, Endicott Cinema Saver, Chucksters, are all of our go-to fun spots. This summer, however, it was just my son and I. Father and son bonding requires a special outing, so I simply Googled "Fun things to do in Binghamton" Robot City was the first thing that popped up, and quite frankly, I didn't read further. With the help of a GPS, we found RC pretty easily, just a few minutes from 17. I was told the area might be shady but , being from Philly, it didn't stand out as a particularly bad area. There was also ample parking next to the building in case you were wondering. Upon walking in, the child that still lives within me had a heart attack. On display was almost every single game system known to manchild complete with the software. I even saw a godamn Game Glove! I wasn't really in the market for such things but it was entertaining just browsing. In the back of the store lays the arcade. From sight to sound to smell it was reminiscent of the arcades I frequented in my own Stranger Things days of the early 80s. Even the 2 tone neon paint job on the walls nailed it. The place is near perfection. Before actually playing, we just walked the rows, geeking out on each game. You'll find all the greatest hits here, from Pac Man to Donkey Kong. Also pinball aplenty. My PS4 playing 15 yr old son quickly adapted to the 8bit life. We separated and did our own thing and I was both thrilled and jealous to keep seeing the BEN name in number 1 spots. Also cool is that my 2 favorite games from my day that they had at Robot City; Joust and Gyruss, turned out to be my sons favorites without me even influencing it. This shit is genetic! I've been to a few 80s arcades (recently) and Robot City is by far the best. Notable exceptions here (and the others) are 2 of my favorite 80s games ; Kangaroo and Burger Time. They must be difficult to get. I like the pricing system here. I've been to some where you pay a flat fee and play games for free within a time limit, but I prefer Robot City's method of simply buying tokens ($10-44 tokens etc). Most games were 1 token, some 2. It worked for us, mostly because my son is a video game savant. We stretched $10 into an hour and a half visit. We came again and did the $20 for 96 tokens and after 2+ hours, we had to leave with a handful of unused tokens (like Aanold , we will be back) If I lived in the area, I'd be here at least monthly. I hope the people of the southern tier don't take this place for granted, it's a real gem.
