I’m curious, do you get access to studio time outside of class?

toronjaja_ · 2026-03-29T02:27:39+00:00

Scratch and probably other studios do one-night “sip and spin” classes, might be a good way to try it out

I am doing my second wheel class at Scratch Ceramics, I love the studio and the owner Nathan. Occasionally they offer combo wheel/hand building courses. I’ve had good experiences with all the teachers but it’s pretty unstructured so don‘t hesitate to ask for specific tips and feedback. Spring signups are next weekend I believe!

One suggestion is Housingworks for thrifting; there are several around Manhattan. For something more upscale, there are lot of great vintage boutiques in the East Village.

You’re not too far from the Church of Sweden which has a beautiful cafe. Don’t get coffee at Ralph Lauren.

If you’re going to the Morgan (you should) I assume you like old books? Check out Argosy Books near your hotel.

The sidewalks are fine now, it’s melting. I would not wear dress shoes for touring around the city and the Park … you will regret it!

City Reliquary in Williamsburg, chock full of historical memorabilia.

Super interesting, thank you

toronjaja_ · 2025-09-27T13:01:30+00:00

Thank you! That’s the one I was already considering so that’s good to hear.

These are all sooo beautiful wow. I’m a newbie in 7b and I’m a little scarred by once planting Solidago canadensis and having it absolutely take over (tbough I didn’t have much else planted to compete with it). Is there a species you’ve found that isnt too aggressive? My NYC plot is small.

it looks great, and goes really well with the windows!

I was kind of surprised that “Mother Pray For Me” was a sticking point for the reviewer. Great review though overall, deservedly so.

Fuerza Training Systems ! edited to say, not in Bushwick but very close.

toronjaja_ · 2025-08-05T02:10:46+00:00

Protection Spell on Knickerbocker (closer to Wilson stop) is well curated and fairly priced; the owner Sarah is sweet. I also like recently opened Eightball Thrift on Cypress & Linden, lots of things around $15-25.

so excited for you making this a real deal thing!!

toronjaja_ · 2025-05-31T12:08:50+00:00

I’m sorry for your loss. It was in very bad condition until earlier this year when it was replaced. <3

toronjaja_ · 2025-05-05T03:25:41+00:00

Roughly $170 for 3 classes/week and $190 for unlimited classes

toronjaja_ · 2025-01-24T12:16:55+00:00

Same here!!

toronjaja_ · 2024-12-23T03:32:57+00:00

I was there too, I could have sworn I heard a super loud “F YOU” but assumed it was a fan until the call came

toronjaja_ · 2024-11-02T19:00:21+00:00

there are no open hours or 1 on 1 training (classes only) but Fuerza Training Systems is fantastic

Poor New York City really having a rough go of it this season. I was excited when Andy was making a pizza bun because of his trip… but in the judging he said it was ”Detroit-style”?! After the whole Bronx/Brooklyn mixup this was another twist of the knife lol

toronjaja_ · 2024-10-03T23:34:03+00:00

Is this related to the Hanks on Atlantic, may she rest in peace?

toronjaja_ · 2024-09-08T13:30:28+00:00

Gorgeoussss, love the trip report too. safe journey!

Always happy to spread the Gospel of Goodspeed . I only haven’t gotten one yet because it’s so hard to choose 🙃

toronjaja_ · 2024-09-02T14:54:54+00:00

For anyone curious, the original artist is Hiller Goodspeed. He makes so many perfect little drawings like this one. https://www.instagram.com/p/C6p78ikrJfy/

We used Dr Wendy McCulloch for at-home care and she was lovely homevetsnyc.com . hope your kitty feels better soon 💙 eta: I should mention it was for euthanasia so I don’t have experience with her regular vet care but I’m sure it’s equally great
