• City Lights Cruise on Yacht Manhattan

  Makayla L. • June 20, 2025
  This tour was really good - when it started, you sat down and they took your order for a free drink, and then you were free to leave the cabin and go out on the deck. If you head out early you can get a good spot so that you can see the NY landmarks. Also, when you got to the Statue of Liberty, they had an assistant there ready to clear an area of the deck so that everyone could take at least one picture if they wanted, which I thought was cool (since many people had flocked to the deck to take pictures of her and it blocked a lot of space). Overall, this was so relaxing. I will say, perfect date night idea!

• Italian Dinner with Tiramisu Finale

  Roobny C. • June 17, 2025

• Art Workshop (Thursdays)

  Soleil • June 17, 2025
  I took the Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting and I loved it! I reconnected with my passion for art and I was guided very well to complete a piece of art I was proud of and could hang up! Would 100% recommend!

• Six Basic Cooking Techniques

• Botanical Cocktail Making

  Makayla L. • June 16, 2025
  I had THE MOST fun in this class. The instructor was a riot - super high energy, and the bar was actually so nice (the food slaps). The cocktails were delicious, and you get a variety. It's 100% worth the money for this one. Would highly recommend.

• Handmade Dumplings

  Fun, great instructor.

• Paint and Sip Workshop: Midtown (BYOB)

  Sarah K. • June 13, 2025
  This was so fun! I brought my friend and we love to do arts projects. We brought our own beer and had a great time. There was not a lot of time to sip our beer during the class but that’s because we were very focused on the artwork. If you are a little unfamiliar with painting I would say the pace of the instruction may be a little fast. But I am already excited to come back.

• Accelerated Introduction to Drawing

  Stacey C. • June 13, 2025
  James was a caring, dedicated, and passionate teacher. I have taken many drawing classes over the years and this was one of the best, and I've learned new skills as well! I highly recommend this class to anyone he wants to be taught by a wonderful teacher, and enhance their skills.

• Culinary Boot Camp Level I: For Beginner Cooks

  Anonymous • June 11, 2025
  Loved this course so much I'm already trying to figure out a next level of it! Even as someone who already does cook at home, especially within my culture's cuisine I learned so much in this class. In particular strong foundational things that ground you in how to think about food and cooking so that we can continue exploring ingredients and flavors beyond what we do in class. Very highly recommend!

• Handmade Pizza Party for Two People

  Polly Y. • June 10, 2025
  The class is very well much fun and enjoyable. The instructor was very well prepared and he conducted the class with humor and enthusiasm. My partner and I enjoyed kneading the pizza dough and learning the cutting techniques. Finalizing the pizza with sauce and cheese and seeing it come out steaming hot from the oven makes the experience unforgettable.

  I absolutely loved this class! I’d for years wanted to take a class to help me improve on my sketching and learn some basic techniques. I love to draw, sketch, watercolor and now I feel like I have some real skills to create. Raphael is a superb teacher, very personalized instruction and so talented and lovely. I’ll be taking more classes with him in the fall. Wonderful experience

  Great class and even better teacher. I progressed so much in just 3 classes. I would recommend to anyone who wants to start drawing.

• Learning Art through Creating Art

  Yekaterina G. • June 10, 2025
  I really enjoyed this 3 part series class. This is the first art class that i took as an adult and Rafael made the process very accessible and inspiring. I love that he provides all supplies so you don't need to buy anything in advance. Also new students come in every week and there are students there who have been working for longer which allowed me to see not just my progression but those of other students as well. I really learned how to see in this class and got much better at drawing than when I first began. Would recommend!

• Fresh Handmade Pasta (BYOB)

  Paul L. • June 10, 2025

• Craft Cocktail Making @ Upscale Speakeasy

  Anonymous • June 10, 2025
  We had such a fun and memorable time at the mixology class with Eric! He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and made the whole experience feel effortless and fun. It was the perfect ladies night—great drinks, lots of laughs, and a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a unique and entertaining night out!

• Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting (For Two)

  Kayleen C. • June 10, 2025
  At first, I was intimidated to take a drawing course since I had no drawing experience, but I’m so glad I did. Raphael is a warm and inviting teacher, and there is absolutely no judgment in the class. He helps bring out each student’s unique style during one-on-ones and provides great critiques. You can tell Raphael truly loves art! Through this course, I learned shading techniques, depth perception, and proportions —all of which are foundational to drawing. I’m excited to apply these skills in future work, and I am retaking another class.

• Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting

  Isabel • June 9, 2025
  This class has been such a refreshing creative outlet. I had no formal training and barely drew before, but after just 3 sessions I am pleasantly surprised at what I created. Rafael creates a calm, supportive space and teaches practical techniques like mark mapping, scaling with reference points, and breaking down shapes—which made drawing feel approachable and fun. I also loved how he brought in artist references and bits of art history for inspiration. Highly recommend for anyone looking to reconnect with their creativity, no matter their starting point.

• Art Workshop (Thursdays)

  Margaret Manning • June 8, 2025
  This class was very fun and informative! As someone who was interested in exploring their creativity, this was a really engrossing and community-based class to enjoy. The techniques about mark mapping, blending and erasing with charcoal and value were great. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get creative - super good for beginners!

• Art Workshop (Thursdays)

  Benjamin • June 6, 2025
  I had a lot of fun and learned a lot in this class! The different techniques, from Mark Mapping to blending/erasing with charcoal, to the value scale, were really helpful and clear. I feel like I progressed a lot in just a three week period with Raphael’s instruction. It was a really warm, community environment which made it enjoyable. Would recommend to anyone who wants to tap into their creative side. As pretty much a total beginner, it was great for me!

• Collage: Surrealism or New Reality? (Drop-in)

  Bridgett D. • June 2, 2025
  Leysan was a joy to work with -- offering knowledgeable insights and fun ideas that led to my creating a beautiful collage. I love too that so many different materials are on-hand to use. I've taken this class before and will continue to take it again and again in the future!

• Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting

  Christopher W. • May 19, 2025
  10/10 and this class is quickly becoming one of my favorite parts of the week! It has a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to focus and have fun at the same time. Everyone is friendly and supportive which makes the whole experience feel welcoming. Raphael is a great instructor giving personalized feedback and guidance no matter your skill level. I learned how to map out shapes using mark-making techniques and build form through light and shadow. One of the highlights for me was the quick sketching exercises, where I spent 10 minutes each drawing different objects with charcoal. At first it was intimidating, but it really helped me get more confident and comfortable with the process. I’m currently working with colored pastels and excited to see where that leads. If I could only take one art class, this would be the one.

• The Meditative Still Life

  Caitlin • May 5, 2025
  I thoroughly enjoyed The Meditative Still Life! My drawing skills improved immensely throughout the course, and I noticed significant progress after each individual session. I was genuinely surprised by how much I had learned even after just the first and second weeks, and by the third week I felt much more confident in my abilities. Before this class, I hadn’t worked much with charcoal and often found it intimidating. However, the course structure—with individualized still lifes and personalized instruction—made it feel much more approachable and tangible. I now feel far more comfortable sketching on my own. The class has completely shifted the way I approach and observe subjects to sketch, which has positively impacted all of my other art practices as well. In particular, my oil painting has improved thanks to a stronger foundation in underdrawing. Raphaél provides thoughtful, individualized attention and constructive feedback that allows each student to grow at their own pace. This is by far the best sketching and drawing class I’ve ever taken, as it's the only time I’ve seen such a dramatic improvement in my work from the beginning of a course to the final piece. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to strengthen their sketching and drawing skills!

• Watercolor Painting (Beginner/Intermediate)

  Salita B. • April 18, 2025
  This watercolor class was a revelation—beautifully structured, thoughtfully paced, and led by an inspiring instructor, Allison, who made even the most complex techniques feel within reach. As someone who had never touched watercolor before, I left my first year not only confident but with a piece accepted into an art show—proof of just how transformative and empowering this class truly is.

• Cake Decorating 101

  Anonymous • April 13, 2025
  Lovely class, great teacher. I like how she showed us different techniques and allowed you to practice and showcase your decorated cake. They need to redo the space because it’s too tight. I like the 20% off coupon after class
