I was honestly overwhelmed, in the best way. The owner, Aqxyl, explained each section of product in the store to us, and was so lovely to chat with. They have such an inspiring story and were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about every product in the shop. Aqxyl took the time to learn what we were celebrating and helped us pick the perfect non-alcoholic champagne to toast my first day of work, and it was amazing! The shop has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and you can tell a lot of care goes into curating the selection. If you're looking for a thoughtful gift, a fun treat for yourself, or a way to celebrate without alcohol, this place is a must-visit. Check it out!

Those who like sour and saison beers will likely like the kombucha here. The teas are tarty, sour, and a little bitter. They sell cups to stay as well as bottles and growlers to go.

My wife and I decided ultimately to get a flight each. Every kombucha we tried was delicious. In particular calm seas and the Hawaiian fire really hit the spot. We sat there enjoying it, and purchased a bag of sweet potato chips, which were also recommended to us. It was such a good experience that we ended up buying bottles of kombucha for the road. We'll be back.

Okay guys, no lie, I feel great. Energy that I haven't had in months, years even. I couldn't believe that I had no idea there was Kombucha practically in my backyard. When I found out? Mind. Blown. Do not let the lack of parking dissuade you. Just pull in up front. Get yourself a Groupon like I did and give the 'booch a try. Then be like me and force yourself to only get more once a week. Much thanks to Darrin for the kumbucha talk and education.

After a few years of sterile and bland yoga at The Y (that's not meant as a knock) it was nice to…read morejump back in the deep end at a place that's whole hog when it comes to incense burning, the trippy and atmospheric music floating through the building, and all sorts of 'new age' doohickeys decorated throughout.  (My very first class and the instructor pulled out a Shruti box to play at the very start and end of our practice... that was a first for me.) The entire biz looks great (front/store, the studio itself, the locker room in back).  It's clean and inviting and you can tell the entire staff cares about the place. I love that the class doesn't face the mirrors for class (the absolute worst) and every few feet there's the 'STUFF' bucket (napkins, tissues, cleaning solution for your mat) which is such a great 'cherry on top' that I never saw in other yoga studios I've been to. Pricing is solid (I was originally lured here through a deal over at Groupon). To date I've bounced between four different classes/levels/instructors.  Each class was unique and challenging and every teacher has been welcoming, supportive and a total pro. The studio is right by a busy intersection - metered parking on the street (I believe an hour max) and a municipal lot behind the studio (metered till 6pm, I think) for more than one hour. Even if I'm officially long in the tooth and nowadays Child's Pose and Shavasana are more my jam instead of Bhairavasana or Eka Hasta Vrksasanav - I'm just glad to have found a cool place to get on the mat and zen out for a spell.  (Will I ever advance up to their 'P3' hot yoga class?  Not even with some help from Ganapati and Hanuman!)

Up front, they have a kombucha bar with other healthy drinks and snacks. If you like a spicy wake you up healthy boost, try the ginger shot.

Other Half is probably my favorite brewery in the USA. This trip I made a special effort to finally…read moreget to their original brewery and tap room, which was a wonderful experience. It's in a more industrial part of Brooklyn near a highway, but there are other breweries and fun beer bars nearby. I was there during a workday morning, and the place was bustling with new cans coming in and filled beer going out, sometimes right through the bar. The bartender Ali was immediately welcoming and friendly, giving me and some other patrons free pours of various special beers. I also had a couple flights, first of ones only pouring there, second of ones at Ali's recommendation that I had missed previously. They have the largest selection of OH beers over any of their other locations. Prices are reasonable for the quality. They have a nice sized merchandise area and beer to go. Snacks are available for purchase, otherwise it's bring your own food. If you're a beer fan, this is a must visit brewery in New York City!

I actually discovered a new NYS fave in Aurora, and rediscovered an old favorite brewery To Øl with their Birra Misu dessert stout. They also have beer (and kombucha) on tap and fill crowlers. Will definitely be back!
