You will have your pictures taken separately in turns.

It can take me up to 10 days to edit all the photos. - You must have a metro card because we take about a 10-minute subway ride from the Brooklyn Bridge to Grand Central Station. - I understand being late, as NYC can be very confusing to navigate!

So, uh, why does New York build "really, really big things?" We tend to do that a lot. This is a fast-paced & funny walking essay that explores the answers to that question through the story of the Brooklyn Bridge. And to do so, we have to look the historical stories of immigration, engineering and political machines. With this tour, we use the bridge and it's bloody, weird history to get a deeper understanding of what is not only New York City, but what makes any city a city.

THIS EXPERIENCE HAS OVER 500 REVIEWS & IS CONSISTENTLY RATED ONE OF THE BEST REVIEWED EXPERIENCES IN NEW YORK! EXPERIENCE AN ALL NEW HOLIDAY SEASON SKETCHING ADVENTURE! SEE NEW YORK IN NEW WAYS- NO SKETCHING EXPERIENCE NECESSARY- EVERYBODY IS AN ARTIST (Trust me!) This is an all weather experience. Indoor routes for cold days! Beginners Kids and families welcome. Sketchbook & supplies included! We meet in the visually stunning Grand Central Terminal for an intro & some warm up sketching exercises. I introduce some philosophy of drawing, share a few of my sketchbooks & hand out sketchbooks to the group. We sketch our way through Grand Central, exploring the main concourse & some hidden architectural surprises. We head outside to 42nd Street to take in some classic NYC street scenes & the Art Deco elegance of the Chrysler Building. We sketch our way toward 5th Avenue & Bryant Park, sketching near the New York Public Library & the Empire State Building. One of the great things about this experience is that people come from all around the world to share in the creative process. Whether you are an artist yourself or have not drawn since childhood, this is a great way to fully engage with the city, connect with visitors & New Yorkers, & share your unique vision of NYC!

We will start of with some warm up improv games. This will last for about 20 minutes, as we play warm up games to get loosened up both mentally and physically. It is very easy and fun to play the warm up games. Than we will take individuals and have them play improv games. Each person will take turns watching and performing. This is great for people who have problems with public speaking, for those who want to learn or improve on there improv skills. It is great for actors or even f you just want to have a lot of fun.

This is a weekly improv class appropriate for all levels (including beginners) taught every Wednesday from 8-10pm and Sundays 5:30-7:30pm. The focus will be on scenework, which is considered long-form improv comedy. -- Are you a bit shy and looking to get more comfortable with your public speaking? -- Are you a working professional hoping to be a bit more spontaneous during your meetings and interactions with co-workers? -- Or are you an actor or improv comedian looking to take your craft to the next level or get more reps? Then this is the class for you! In this class, you will learn the fundamentals of scene work (role playing). You'll be on your feet quite a bit as I'm believer that you learn (and have more fun) through doing rather than hearing an instructor talk. Brief individual notes will be given, if that's what you're looking for, and tailored to your level of experience. At the end of each class, I'm confident you'll feel a sense of accomplishment that will leave you more energized and excited to tackle the challenges of everyday life, whether at your work place or in your personal life.

You will enter the space with light music playing, & the burning of either incense, frankincense & myrrh resin and/or sage to clean the space. There will be a choice of herbs for your herbal smoking blends, each serving a specific function in the body. We will briefly introduce ourselves & discuss what each person is interested in blending. The group will then break into small groups of 2 or 3. I will start the class teaching the benefits and function of each herb. We will then discuss smoking blend ratios. We can also discuss ratios for blending herbs with cigarettes or cannabis for those who are interested in cutting. In your small group, you will then pick a selection of herbs to make your blend. As you craft, I will talk about the benefits and safety of vaporizing vs smoking, and the combustion temperatures for the herbs we are using. (Vaporizing warms plant material enough to release its beneficial compounds without creating a harmful combustion). In total, you will take home a smoking blend kit, 2 personally rolled herbal cigarettes, & a wealth of newfound information. Smoking blends DO NOT include nicotine or cannabis. We are ONLY using plant material.
