Kalā Yoga
Yoga studio
👍👍 I used the first week newbie discount and experienced Kala yoga. A comrade from the area took me here and I got to try the vinyasa, heated Pilates and toning classes. All of them were really good and the instructors were experienced. That said, I’m not sure if I’d travel to this studio and pay the p...

👍👍 I just had the best collagen facial of my life here! I recommend Yumiko - she massaged me the whole time while waiting for the creams to set so I feel very relaxed. My face feels softer and lifted. I will definitely be back. The whole place has such a great aesthetic and ambience too - it’s clean, s...

EatMetal Art Jewelry Gallery and Metals Studio
Jewelry designer
👍👍 Working with Beth Ann was such a pleasure! She helped me create the most beautiful engagement rings out of a marble stone my fiancé and I found on our first date and our birth stones. She truly took the time to make the rings personal, and I learned so much about jewelry making along the way.

There's space for strollers...

👍👍 If you’re looking for a fun way to explore NYC — finding oft overlooked city specifics — a Questing scavenger hunt is for you! My daughter and I followed clever clues (with the exact right level of difficulty) around FiDi and South Street Seaport areas of Manhattan. It was challenging, fun and inf...

👍👍 Truly a wonderful and powerful museum. Since the Chinese government permanently closed down the museum in Hong Kong, this location is more important than ever. Full of authentic items from the event and time surrounding it, it viscerally brings the event to reality for the audience. I am looking for...
