YogaRenew

Yoga studio

👍👍 YogaRenew was a very comprehensive Teacher Training Course (YTT200). There was so much support and additional information available. The live Zoom calls were the best and plenty of time to ask questions etc. I cannot recommend this course highly enough. I felt well supported and knew I could contact...

👍👍 Amazing service! Mark was able to explain the different products in the store and really took his time to help me pick a product. The experience was one of the best! Everyone is super helpful and the store is nicely decorated! Visited a few times during my trip and would recommend.

Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters

Synagogue

👍👍 To everyone leaving a 1 star review. You should know that this isn't a tourist attraction. It's our holy 770. And you may come visit and get a view of the spirituality. But do not show up. Say the food is mediocre and that "the guy was rude to me" you have no right to say such none sense. This is an...

City Climb

Observation deck

🫤 I would say at this price, they can do a much better job in making it a memory. The pictures they take are nothing like it’s shown in the promotions. They insisted they are contractually banned from taking pictures of climbers facing the city when I asked to take one. But in one of the reviews below...

Watches of Switzerland

Watch store

👍👍 The Watches of Switzerland store in Soho is a beautiful and open layout with a broad suite of time pieces, which set the tone for an enjoyable experience from the start. When I came into the store, I asked for Richard Dagia since he was highly recommended by a friend. I originally only had a few Ro...

Rare Carat, Inc

Diamond dealer

👍👍 Rare Carat was nothing but a pleasure to explore and buy from. Best prices, bar-none, and a great selection as well, from nice super affordable options all the way up to the record-setters. Long story short, see the pictures. My fiancée constantly remarks how much she loves her ring :)

Immersive Gamebox - Lower East Side

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Kids (and adults) love video games so this place was a great way to get the best of all worlds. When you come in you'll be assigned a room where the screen functions as a huge touch screen. Multiple games are available at different levels of complexity. As opposed to the classic computer game home e...

El Gallo Taqueria

Taco restaurant

👍 Great food. The tacos are amazingly insane! The pork taco with pineapple was my favorite! The burritos and cemitas were also very exceptional. I would definitely come back here for the food. I don't think I would dine in again. There isn't much seating here and they were getting a ton of orders. Ins...

Activate Games

Amusement center

👍👍 Oh my god, this was the best, most innovative activity I've done in a long time! Imagine all those video games that you play, imagine all those movies in which the cool actress/actor dodges laser beams to get to their target and then make them all happen in real life coz in Activate you can do all o...

787 Coffee Co.

Coffee shop

👍👍 Really good coffee but totally comes with a price tag. I came here on a rainy day while waiting for my bus and got the rum infused coffee with a pump of horchata. Totally delicious tastes really decadent. And it was $7.72. Nice space to sit, looks loungey and in the summer they keep thr doors open f...

787 Coffee

Coffee shop

👍👍 LOVE this spot. It’s super hip and cozy inside with a ton of seating. They also have some outdoor seating as well which I always love. Coffee was great. But the best part here was without a doubt the customer service. They asked me when I was checking out if I lived in the area. I said no but my off...

BUDDIES COFFEE

Coffee shop

👍👍 Stumbled across this gem over the weekend and it was amazing. It gives off speakeasy vibes and has a delicious cup of coffee. Taylor and Rachel made us feel welcomed immediately and took the time to chat with us. Definitely adding Buddies to the list of my favorite coffee shops in Williamsburg!

Balancero

Coffee shop

👍👍 Such a cute little coffee shop with great coffee, lots of plants and really great conversations with the employees. What more could you ask for? Also the chocolate croissant was possibly the best I’ve ever had…
