We were invited to have brunch on the beautiful and welcoming Spirit Cruise Ship of New Jersey…read more(they departed from Chelsea Pier). As much as we wanted to be seated on the upper deck, we were satisfied with our seats on the lower deck. I think we were sitting right above the engine! The curiosity of where the noise was coming from created discussions with basically everyone at our table. That was awesome considering we met some amazing people from different necks of the wood. Please fully charge your phone to check into yelp and take advantage of a free delicious and stiff mimosa. Haha! I was a superstar at my table where I introduced the yelp app to four individuals. Not only did they sign up and receive free mimosas, they were eager to take pictures as the event went on, but was open to writing a quality user experience tip or detailed review of their experiences. They had a buffet style brunch with different types of salad, stuffed shell fish, baked chicken, mashed potato, broccoli, and pasta. Delicious! My huger pain was seriously kicking in therefore I ended up getting a second round! No shame, I was indeed pigging out... I was impress with their music selection, which was appropriate for all age group. They had a cute dance floor set up. I'm not a good dancer, but I think I made a fool out of myself with some unique move. Totally worth it! As I made my way to the rooftop, the view was beyond beautiful. I love New York City. We had a beautiful view of the Statue of Liberty, Governor Island, Brooklyn bridge, and many more historical places. Overall, I had a beautiful brunch well spent with some new acquaintances and a mesmerizing view. Our waiter was just the best! I showed my appreciation by leaving a generous tip. Well deserve!

I planned my…read morehusband a surprise birthday party while I was traveling internationally and Mark was really helpful. He was very communicative--even with the 13 hour time difference, I was able to coordinate with him easily. I had my husband be taken out of the house three hours before the party to set up... the balloon arch was delivered right on time. The photographer showed up half an hour earlier than the party. The magician I wanted to hire was booked somewhere else and I only found out a few days before, but the balloon sculpture artist Mark recommended instead was an absolute hit with the kids as well as the adults, which was a pleasant surprise. He made my husband the most outrageous birthday hat. Right when he was supposed to be done, one of the kids tripped and popped his balloons and got upset, and he stayed longer to make him (and a few other stragglers) more balloons. Truly kind. The photographer David was also really so helpful, friendly, and on it! He came early and helped with some of the set up... he was attentive and also very nice to talk to. Very natural (sometimes it's awkward when a photographer's in your face taking pictures but it wasn't awkward at all). We got a USB full of pictures right after the party! Really, what a great experience. My husband had a really great time. Thank you Mark and company!

I won't give to much away only that you should try it but I will also warn you if you are doing sculpting you DO NOT take the finished product home with you. As I said this is a great therapeutic experience.

From the moment we walked in, the space had such a chill, artsy atmosphere. The instructor was not only super talented, but also so kind and helpful. He walked us step-by-step through the painting, demonstrating each part on a sample canvas and checking in with everyone as we painted. He kept our mimosa glasses full and refreshed our paint palettes There were also fresh pastries and fruit to nibble on while we painted, and he even helped us take photos and videos throughout the class Whether you're planning a cute date, a girls day out, or just looking for something creative and fun to do in NYC, this is such a unique experience. Highly recommend and yes, I'll be back with more friends soon!

Frank told me he would show me the hall, and when I arrived from 20 minutes away, he said "I'm not going over there to show you the hall in this rain absolutely not".
