We were advised to order from the Brunch menu with many items to choose. We started to paint, my French Toast arrived. The French Toast was crispy, mixed with warm berry compote was just ok.

Definitely will return.

Honestly, it wasn't that impressive. It's not really a Hall of Fame as the title describes…read more Most of the artwork was behind a chain link fence of a school which was locked. When here I expected to see more. Sure, some of the graffiti art is creative and well done, and these people have great talent.

The food was nothing crazy, although, the lack of options left my tummy rumbling. I paid a total of 36.89 including my ticket and my food. The movie itself was very dissapointing. The new mario movie was the most anticipated movie I had been waiting for ( other than spider-man, and Avengers Doomsday). And lets just say, it wasnt what i had expected. It wasnt bad, but i think the first movie was miles better and Im not scared to say it. It didnt live up to what i thought it was going to be but it was good, just not great. Overall, I will come back and hopefully when I do, they have pizza and chichen and fries to fulfill my needs of my stomach.

Oh the infamous Electric Zoo. There was so much controversy behind this festival this year. Despite…read moreall the mishaps, I would say I had a decently good time. Of course there were some qualms, but I felt like one of the lucky ones who was left relatively unscathed. It was a bummer that Friday was canceled, but I still got to attend Saturday and Sunday's festivities. Saturday went pretty smoothly and I got to see my favorite DJ's. It was laughable that the main stage wasn't completed and the screens looked like they were malfunctioning. I was right under the circular hanging structure, and was praying that it didn't fall. Sunday felt a little more stuffy and crowded and we were packed like sardines. I was lucky to be able to get in the fairgrounds in time right before people started bum rushing. Also, I didn't realize the day before, but the sages that were right next to each had horrible sound bleed. Who had the genius idea of placing two stages next to each other that shared a wall?! The bus system getting us to the subway went smoothly, but just had to wait due to the crowds of people. Despite having a good experience, with some inconviencies, I don't think I'd be attending again. After attending raves run by Insomniac, the quality of production is very evident.

Awesome music festival in NYC!!…read more My partner and I have gone every year together since we started dating. Going on 7 years now! It's one of our favorite music festivals. Good times, good vibes and good people. Everyone's there having a good time and spreading good energy. No judgement on what people wear, just wanting to have fun. Brooklyn Mirage bought ezoo and switched things up a bit this year. I think it was their best year yet! The music wasn't bleeding from the other stages and no crazy, massive swarms of people. I never felt overcrowded at any point. They really upgraded things! Can't wait for next year!

My daughter is 2 and my niece and nephew are 3 and 4 - it was age appropriate for all of them. Tickets will run you $20 and are free for kids under 3. Expect to spend around 1.5 to 2 hours. It's not that large of an area and you can see everything much quicker, but it's likely you'll spend time snapping photos. And speaking of photos... there are SO many opportunities. I loved all of the light up walkways and of course tons of light up dinos and animals, plus some funny bonus photo opps like a group shot inside of a dino mouth and dinos that actually walk around the festival. There was a bit of a line to get in but it moves pretty fast. There are a few porta potties inside and Peking Pavilion also had a food tent set up. But that was all for food, so maybe consider eating before or bringing snacks. Overall it's something cool and different to do and all of the kiddos in our group had a fun time. Plus tons of cute pics to look back on. Can't beat that!

The space itself feels like art. With six floors of galleries, we happily worked our way down, taking in incredible paintings, sculptures, and powerful works from so many talented artists -- including inspiring artists-in-residence. The collection feels vibrant and meaningful, and the layout allows you to really slow down and experience each floor. There's also a lovely gift shop and café area where you can grab a coffee and pastry and relax for a bit. It's easily accessible by subway, the staff is warm and incredibly helpful, and the entire experience feels fresh and exciting. Check it out -- you won't be sorry.

These sessions are held in her apartment on Sundays. You can look up the address and how to get there. It's easy. 555 Edgecomb Avenue. Buzz 107. When let in, head to apartment 3F. There are folding chairs and makeshift seats all around. It can be crowded. Get there early for a good seat. The show is supposed to start around 3:30, but we got there at 2:45 and several people were waiting. In the summer it can be sweltering, so dress appropriately. There is no dress code. She and Rudel play jazz on the piano, what she calls "African American classical music." They often have an accompanying cellist or other musician. Sometimes a poet. The sessions are free of charge, but please contribute to the tip jar or their Venmo! The apartment is full of Miss Marjorie's memories. Poignant, joyous, and a little sad. They serve little snacks and water and sometimes juice. The music really is wonderful, but Miss Marjorie and Rudel are the most genuine, kind, talented people, and they are amazing for sharing themselves and their home with us. This is my New York.
