Make Meaning
Though heavily trafficked by the elementary-school set, this arts-and-crafts storefront welcomes budding Picassos of all ages. Experiment with jewelry design and candle making, or start with a beginner’s project, like customizing a set of greeting cards (starting at $6 each) with paper embellishment. Day passes are $12 for one-off visits or $36 for a year of unlimited trips. The shop, which also hosts birthday parties and corporate team-building events, also sells gifts and toys and has a small café that stocks sweets, snacks and small beverages. If this still sounds like child’s play, roll up with your gang and craft while under the influence of a few carafes of wine ($23–$29 each), which are 50 percent off after 7pm on Wednesdays. Three or more participants 20 percent off experiences Tue after 7pm.
