    Mud Genius is a quaint place to unwind and let your creativity flow. I stopped in on a Saturday, just looking to unwind after a long work week. I found Mud Genius thru Yelp. I live in the Bronx but had no qualms about visiting, it was only a 15 minute ride. Upon arriving, there was plenty of parking. Mud Genius is located in a shopping center, so before or after, you can shop around or get a bite to eat. I walked in and immediately received a greeting and service. I have been recovering from a broken ankle and at the time, I was walking with a crutch. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming toward me. They gave set me up at a table with brushes and a palate, then encouraged me to paint whatever my heart desired. Mud Genius does just offer pottery painting, they also offer painting of fridge magnets, wine glasses, and canvases' to paint. In addition, you can make candles or soap, all at affordable prices. I believe pricing was about $10 and up (call to confirm), and they offer a full selection of paint colors. I chose a small plate, which I painted for hours. The staff brought the paint over to me and helped minimize my need to constantly get up. If you check-in on the Yelp app, you'll receive $5 off your first visit. With that deal, I paid about $24 in total. I don't recall if there was a painting/sitting fee, but they offer various methods of payment including, cash, credit/debit, and venmo. My piece was ready within a week and I picked it up with no issues. They seem to be involved in the community as I saw that they offer summer camp and kids-specific events at times. There are also some special events throughout the week including adult/ladies paint night. Overall, it was a great experience. I highly recommend to others, and i'll be returning for sure.

    Kayla's 9th birthday party!   11/01/2015

    My daughter had a really nice time here today at her friend's 9th birthday party! I heard about the owner there not being nice from previous reviews. My daughter did say she was a bit pushy when I asked her. I did see how her demeanor could seem pushy but I think this is more of a cultural thing and the fact that she wanted things to go as planned. When we went in to the birthday party there were different kinds of figurines you get to pick to paint. My daughter chose a cat. Then the children are given an apron and some paints and they are off to work in creative heaven. This is a decent sized place and the outside of it is designed in a very colorful and cheerful way. I still have to go back there when my child's piece is ready for pick up. I am sure it will be very nice. This is a place that is similar to Party Art Studio in Floral Park. Glad we got to try this place out!

    We had another amazing time with Mud Genius this weekend! While we have lots of options closer to our home, we intentionally travel to this place because of the owners. Evelyn and her husband are always so amazing to us. My kids literally ran up and gave them bear hugs because they were so excited to see them. This time, the kids wanted to work on different painting techniques and to gift their art work to their grandparents. My daughter and son leaned so many new ways to add details and were gushing about what they did all the way back home. When my kiddos are happy, I am happy so thank you to Mud Genius for always making our weekends so much fun.

    Evelyn was so personable. Usually, her shop is closed on Tuesdays and she opened it specifically so I could bring my mother here for her birthday! She helped my cousin, mother and I who are extremely unartistic with all the mistakes we made and sat down with us and talked with us. Her and her husband were extremely welcoming and outgoing! WE HAD A GREAT TIME! Thank you so much Evelyn!!

    *Review for paint night (Friday night BYOB canvas painting)* My boyfriend and I stopped by for paint night on a Friday night after noticing this place while walking around the Bay terrace mall. We checked their website and saw there was an adult BYOB canvas painting every Friday night and called to reserve our spot about a week before. The night of - we walked in, and although we were the only ones (it was the night of the lunar New year), Evelyn (the owner) was very welcoming and accommodating. She let us know we could pick between the smaller and larger canvases, for the same price of $35. We chose the smaller canvas, and she set us up with disposable smocks, paint, and easels. Since it was just us two that night, she decided not to paint step by step along with us. Although I would've preferred the step by step draw along, Evelyn gave us detailed directions along the way and helped us when needed. We both had fun and like our new paintings! This place also has pottery painting, candle making, and wine glass painting from what I saw! We'll have to come back and try that! It seems like a good place for birthday parties, girls nights, or a fun date. Give them a try if you want to try something different and fun!

    I took my niece here today for an activity- she chose to paint a Tinkerbell ceramic figurine. The place was busy (great sign on a Saturday in the winter!). The staff and owner were excellent, showing patience with all of their clients, making sure everyone had what they needed. Evelyn, the owner, even took time to help my six year old niece make sure her fairy's face was perfect before leaving it. I saw her help a few other frustrated young painters- all who got the help they needed and a lot of patience. We will be back to pick up in a week! I had a great time painting a mug also-- so we both passed the time engaged and having fun. Plan ahead if you have a big group- the place is popular and filled with creative people. I will definitely be returning.

    Very cool. It kind of pricey. Two medium size ceramics $16 each than $8 each for studio fee total = $50 Nice for once in a blue not a regular thing.

    In fact, the owner, Evelyn, took the time to give us pointers and she was a wonderful conversationalist.

    I've been playing Quick Draw game here and when I finally won a mere $400 this place couldn't cash…read moremy ticket. Why on earth would you have games that people play and don't have enough money for the winners angry

    This is a neighborhood deli/lunch counter masquerading as a stationery/convenience store. If you…read moremarried a Jersey Mike's with a Hallmark store, this would be the love child. We came in to buy a last minute anniversary card and was greeted by the smell of sizzling meat. I was intrigued and promised myself that I would come back here for lunch. We purchased a few cards and they were good deals because all greeting cards are 1/2 off the listed price on the back. A few weeks later, I come in to check out the big menu board and ordered a Philly Cheesesteak ($9.99). The short order cook asked if I wanted lettuce & tomato in addition to the onions, peppers, mushrooms & provolone cheese and I said "Sure, why not". Thinking back, the L&T made the sandwich a little soggy, so I'll skip them next time on the cheesesteak. The grilled meat & veggies were stuffed into a hero roll, wrapped up and I was ready to go. It was a really tasty sandwich (and way better deal than Jersey Mike's across the street). I can't wait to come back to try all the other sandwiches & wraps on the board. Breakfast, too!
