Isabel Cristina O.
Such a fun class! I gifted this to my partner for his birthday. Rosemary was kind, charming, and attentive. We talked about our travels and experiences while we laughed and made a delicious dinner. SheSuch a fun class! I gifted this to my partner for his birthday. Rosemary was kind, charming, and attentive. We talked about our travels and experiences while we laughed and made a delicious dinner. She took plenty of photos and recorded the instructions so that we could recreate our dumplings at home. The wonton soup was DELICIOUS! And we brought how plenty of leftovers. Definitely would like to take another class with her in the future! + more

The class was super simple and straightforward but also fun and collaborative. We learned some new cookign tips, had great talks with the other guests and the location in the hotel was actually so perfect. Our head chef/instructor was amazing with the energy the whole evening and helped with any fixes that we all needed and I would take another with him. The end product was so tasty and were great as left overs! + more

The three-hour class was enough time to create two mugs, which my friend and I were excited about — some other places only let you make one, or charge an extra fee if you want to make more. I highly recommend this class, especially if you're gifting it to a friend. I bought it as a birthday gift for my friend, who appreciates experiences over material gifts. + more

New York may have everything, but if you’re still stumped about how to throw a birthday bash that’s extraordinary, take a look at our unique birthday party ideas in NYC! From a big night out to a more intimate get-together with your closest friends, our creative experiences make planning a party a breeze. Learn cocktail making with a mixologist, make authentic recipes with a chef in cooking classes, or handcraft customized perfume. No matter what your going-out style is and whether you’re celebrating a 30th birthday or a 70th birthday, you’ll find plenty of ways to commemorate the special day with our hands-on experiences.
Fun birthday ideas and the best experiences in New York City
No matter whose birthday you are celebrating – your own or a loved one’s – it’s a milestone worth making a big deal of! Maybe you need a 40th birthday idea or you’re planning a party for a grandparent and you need an event for all ages. Our workshops in New York have you covered because there are plenty of family-friendly birthday activities in NYC. You can plan a painting class at Central Park and get everyone together for a creative outdoor adventure. Or take a baking class and learn how to make macarons or bake croissants. Pottery birthday parties are a fun way to engage every age and have a blast learning a new craft.
It’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t get excited about food and our cooking classes are designed for maximum fun. You’ll learn from a professional chef in their kitchen or cooking school in NYC. Get step-by-step guidance in a friendly setting so even if your skills stop at making toast, you’ll be able to follow along successfully. Best of all, everyone gets to sit down to an amazing meal you prepared yourselves in honor of the birthday gal or guy.
How to plan a birthday party
The best kind of party planning is the one where you get to relax and enjoy while someone else takes over the details. You don't have to sweat the details when you book one of our creative workshops. Your teacher will have all the supplies ready and plan the perfect experience for you.
If you need a 30th birthday idea, try a trendy birthday idea like a cocktail party where all the guests learn how to make the latest drink recipes with a professional bartender. Show up to a cool speakeasy with your friends and get a private mixology lesson. You’ll learn all about spirits, combining flavored mixers, and adding that extra touch with the perfect garnish. You can make your favorites like espresso martinis or Aperol spritz. This is a memorable way to spend time with friends and a unique approach to celebrating a birthday rather than meeting up at a bar.
No matter what kind of party you’re interested in, you don’t have to do any heavy lifting. If you want to include people of all ages, try a painting party. It’s a great way to learn a new skill with a local artist and you’ll walk away with a piece of art to remember your time together. Or treat your art-loving friends and family with an art walk. You’ll get to discover new corners of the city and learn to appreciate the street art that gives New York its distinct identity. You can even visit artists in their studios in Brooklyn and learn about their process. It's a memorable way to spend time in New York even if you're a local.
Birthday gift ideas for a fantastic time together
Treat the important people in your life to experience gifts that make a birthday stand out. If your mom is celebrating 50, plan a day of candle making or perfume blending for her and her closest friends. It’s a birthday party and self-care rolled into one! Scented candles always make a space feel warm and cozy so creating your own is a great way to personalize them. Use soy wax and natural oils for a clean burn and luxurious feel. If mom loves a delicious scent, perfume making will make a great birthday party and gift. Everyone will learn about the fascinating world of perfumes and create their own fragrance to take home and enjoy.
Do you have a friend who loves buying flowers but is never sure how to arrange them? Treat her to a flower arranging class on her next birthday. Get your friend group together and learn from a local florist with gorgeous seasonal blooms. Not only will everyone leave with a new skill but you’ll also take home a beautiful bouquet to remember your time with your BFF. This makes for fantastic birthday activities for plant lovers where they can celebrate with nature.
You can also immerse your senses in a candle making class. You'll learn how to create customized versions with natural waxes like soy or coconut wax while combining your favorite scents. Choose something fresh and invigorating to energize you or rich and dreamy to help you relax. Your instructor will help you make the perfect scent blends and teach you how to pour your waxes perfectly. You and your friends will have a personalized experience to help you bond and connect.
