BRIC Arts Media House is a lowkey hidden gem in Brooklyn. A lot of people know it as an event space…read more(and it's great for that), but what most people don't realize is they offer classes in podcasting, photography, graphic design, sound design, and filmmaking--usually all under $100. I do a weekly podcast, and once you take their intro class, you can rent the studio for about $25/hour. Super easy process. Honestly, it's one of the most affordable options in NYC if you're trying to get into podcasting or any kind of creative media.

I have to say I was extremely excited to go to Pa-Nash as I've had it in my bookmarks on Yelp for…read morequite some time. I called the day of a made reservations for the same day for a party of 4. When we arrived we checked in with the hostess and was seated quickly. Our waitress came over to introduce herself and take our drink order. She came back after 10 mins and took our food order. We were given a complimentary pita and hummus with our drinks. The drinks are of a good size and are strong. Not strong in a bad way. The music was great and it was karaoke night so there were a DJ and customers partaking in the festivities. Time passed and no word from our waitress and we notice people who came in after we received their food. We stopped another waitress and asked for an update about our food. Since our waitress was at the bar socializing. We were informed the food is made to order. Ok, not even 5 minutes later our waitress brought us our food. Which was warm and boarder line cold. We didn't complain, things happen. The food was good nevertheless. We order more drinks. With another server as ours was busy socializing at the bar still. I had to get up and go to the bar to request our check. There was a discrepancy in our bill as there were more drinks than what we ordered. There was also automatic gratuity. I'm not against automatic gratuity, but I am against someone getting compensated well for poor service. My friend decided to speak to the owner before writing a bad review. Because she is a business owner and believes it should be brought to his attention. Titus came over after speaking with my friend and apologized for the poor service and stated he would make it right next time as we were on our way out. I'm not sure if there will be the next time. After Titus apologized we still remained to wait for our server to bring us our card back. After 25 minutes I spoke to the other server who was able to get me my card and our coats. I have to say I was disappointed with my experience. I know this was because of the service. The music was great, the atmosphere was great, the food was good despite being warmish, the drinks were good, the bathrooms are clean. The service was poor.

The grounds seem to be well kept as well as the inside. There is street parking as well as free parking in a lot located in the back. The only thing is you can only enter thru the front entrance. So though the parking is on the side/back there is like one way in and out so there is a bit of a walk. Other than that the food selection was impressive. From jerk chicken to fish, to rasta pasta and stuffed shells and everything in between. We also had a nice cheese and fruit board spread. And let's not talk about the desert! Overall it was a nice experience. Antun's is for sure a considerable venue to host an event.

That rubbed me the wrong because if I'm the one that's paying you and we had an agreement why are you running to someone else threatening to shut my event down? Also there was "security" at the door I'm not too sure for what it's not like they checked bags or even patted you down but felt the need to press some of my guest about an invitation? I never mentioned to the owner anything about invites of even a guest list so that was uncalled for Overall the owner of the place was not big on customer service and I wouldn't be booking here again I don't feel like I got what I paid for and I spent a good chunk of money when this was brought to the owners attention she just kept mentioning I gave you a discount not Necessarily addressing my concern. I'm big on supporting black own business but this lady's customer service does not make you want to do business with her

We took the ferry from Astoria and got off at the last stop, which is only a few minutes away from Pier 15, where Watermark is located. The sun was out, but it was chilly with the wind. We arrived and were greeted and taken to our reservation after a few minutes. Right off the bat, it looked great with pink everywhere. The "glasshouse" was a bit small, and my chair was wobbly; I felt like it was going to break if I moved too much. There was barely any room to stretch your legs. Our server came by, gave us the menu, and disappeared. After a while, he eventually came back to take our order. The place was packed, I'll give them that, but given that we paid for the special dinner package, they would be more attentive, given the price we paid. We finally got our drinks, which were not included in the dinner experience, by the way. The package only includes the guava tea, hummus appetizer with pita bread, and a choice of one entree each with dessert to finish it off. Anything else you pay for separately. For my drink, I got the Blushing Bourbon, which was really good! As for the food, we started with the Crispy Coconut Shrimp app, which was good with the sweet chili sauce. As for the limited choice of entrees, we went for the Golden Chicken Milanese and the Sakura Teriyaki Chicken Bowl. The Milanese chicken, while it was huge, needed more seasoning; it tasted so bland, and the mustard sauce did not help at all. My friend did not like the Teriyaki chicken bowl, but I did, as it was much better than my dish. The portion, however, was small. After we had somewhat finished our food, we were served the raspberry macarons for dessert, which were good but tasted like regular macarons, so nothing special. Of course, the check came quickly without being asked, with an 18% tip automatically included. After paying, we went around exploring photo ops. There was a lot to take pictures of, very Instagram-worthy, but that's about it after experiencing it. I felt like we overpaid for the whole dining experience and should have just visited for the pictures and maybe a drink or two and gone somewhere else for dinner.

Your ticket includes a timed reservation, a cup of tea, an entree, and a dessert. Surprisingly the entree was actually pretty good. I ordered the salmon and it was cooked properly and the mashed potatoes were actually tasty. The experience itself was fun and probably great for people to just enjoy themselves. But I was a little bummed there weren't real cherry blossoms. But still it was good. If you love taking photos and dressing really cute this place could be a nice spot for you. Wasn't really prepared so I was just in a sweater and pants.

Once I take the escalator upstairs and approach BAMCafe, I use a minute to take in the ambiance. The bar area is located towards the back near the escalator, followed by a mini art exhibit, multiple tables and chairs for dining), a small couch area on the right hand side closer to the stage (gives the place a semi-lounge feel), the stage and the bathrooms are located behind the stage area. Inner decor is really special at BAMCafe as the walls have a brick - like structure, there are decorative lighting fixrures in the windows and the overall lighting/color aesthetic is gorgeous. Recently, the BAMCafe Live Series has been quite entertaining. It is a free live music showcase featuring different types of music. BAMCafe Live has been taking place on Friday + Saturday nights at 9pm. Pleasurable does not begin to describe my experience as I have been going several weeks in a row to enjoy BAMCafe' s live music itinerary filled with great bands. Baraji is a Korean Music Group that blended the use of musical instruments and singing to give a lovely performance. Alvin Flythe and his band served the crowd with spectacular Jazz Music and Arthur Russell Concert last night was wonderful. Staff here at BAMCAFE enforce strict rules such as where you can stand etc, to ensure everyone's safety. The bar staff try their best to get you your order in a timely manner (it gets very busy w/ customers during live music nights). The happy hour is from 6 -8pm but one can get a alcoholic/ non-alcolohic beverage for the duration. I have only had a glass of juice which was $3.50. The DJ is there and plays an excellent selection of music before and after the live band performances. He keeps the party going from the beginning to the end!
