Local event resources were hyping up an evening comedy show at a new spot called "The Collective"…read more The tickets for the show were available in various packages, some of which included a "custom hat", which was very mysterious to us. Hats seemed like an odd counterpart to a night of humor, but we also had not heard of The Collective and were not sure what type of business it was. Thanks to a sidewalk placard, we were able to locate the business on the second floor of a smaller, remodeled building. The sign called out the hat crafting, which was particularly helpful in catching our eyes, though we were still not sure what to find when we made our way upstairs. My companion was recovering from surgery and was happy to see that the modernized building included a small elevator so that he could avoid the narrow staircase. When we arrived at The Collective, we were created by incredibly nice folks! We were introduced to the owners, Gary and Grace, a young couple that created one of the most unique and creative spaces in town! Gary took us on a tour, where we saw an art gallery with pieces from various local artists, a room selling vintage rock t-shirts and records, a custom hat designing studio (trucker's and cowboy-ish styles), a candle-making facility and display area, and much more. The team was really optimizing their location by offering a variety of after-hours classes and events, all of which were BYOB. The first of which was the comedy performance, which was held in the main room, where a variety of mismatched seating and a small stage were located. The troupe was led by Matt, while the show was MCed by Grace (a different woman than the owner). The two of them were outstanding, as was every other comedian in the hour and half-long show. We had been to a good number of similar local acts and been very let down by the lack of laughter generated. However, that show was had us cackling out loud! We truly enjoyed our time at The Collective and all of the friendly people that we met there; we could not have asked for a better evening! I hope to attend some of their future events as well.

I don't drink but I was able to order one of my favorite non-alcoholic drink: Shirley Temple and they did a beautiful job creating it. Surprisingly, bars do not know how to make a good Shirley Temple - They don't put enough grenadine but here they added plenty of grenadine and many cherries. Yum! Their bestseller drink was pale translucent sparkly pink served in a martini glass that looked so lovely - Even though I don't drink, I do appreciate the artistry that is involved in making this one. I came here with a group of friends for a painting party and upon arrival, we were welcomed with open arms. Everything was already set up with blank canvas, easel, paintbrushes, water and paint colors of pink, red, green, white, blue, black & brown. The painting for the evening was really pretty - It had a path with bright pink flowers on the side, green opening, blue sky, trees and moss. Our instructor was wonderful... He went step by step and was patient, funny and talented. He did a great job describing what colors we were to mix or use and what type of method to use for painting different parts. He answered all questions we had and helped individually where needed. As a result, I think my painting turned out pretty good! There are snacks available for purchase but the place also allows outside food so that was great... We munched on chips throughout and enjoyed my friend's birthday cupcakes during the break. I had a wonderful evening and am happy with my painting but I probably wouldn't go back because it's all the way in Staten Island so it would probably be easiest to go by car.
