Elena was an amazing instructor very kind and patient. I purchased this class as an anniversary gift to my girlfriend and I. Everything was provided from the smock to the painting utensils. You learn how to sketch from a reference photo, how to mix paint to make colors lighter or darker, and of course how to paint using oil based paint. Elena was a hands on instructor not shying away from helping you  + more

Ha Nguyen




Alzerina jewelry making class is an absolute gem! As an instructor, she's patient, knowledgeable, and overflows with infectious enthusiasm. From the moment my friends and I stepped into her studio, her warm, welcoming energy put us all at ease. Alzerina has a true gift for breaking down complex techniques in a way that makes jewelry making accessible and fun. Her bubbly personality, funny jokes, and  + more

Came here with my BFF as a birthday gift and it was great! Loved that the terrarium glass was large and of good quality. The kit had everything we needed and there was a decent variety of plants to choose from at our table. I really appreciated that they had a snack and drinks table (was not expecting that!) and the hosts were very friendly and patient. I genuinely enjoyed the activity and the hosts  + more

Justine Raymond




This class was incredible! I bought the class as a surprise gift for my partner and we each made one knife each. Our instructor Arlene was so helpful, funny, inspiring, and had a great taste in music. The effort was somehow both easier and harder than expected (my arms are spaghetti), but the teacher was available to help if you were struggling. To be able to leave with a handmade knife was amazing!  + more

This was a gift for my son and his girlfriend. They had such a great time, and you even got my son to try things he never ate Thank you! Thank you! Regards, Marie


Michael Shea




Great value. You get drinks, an awesome teaching session, and the tools to make drinks at home. Host makes sure all people are having a fun time and the bar has a great vibe. Overall an amazing gift or experience!

Cocktail class review by Michael Shea - New York City


Bona Jeong




Melanie was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions in details and thoughtful manner. I always wanted to learn about candle making for hobby, and this amazing birthday gift from my sister gave me this chance! This specific venue got a little noisy in the end as the customers started to come in for lunch. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who has interest just  + more

Anna Guaglione




Was such a fun experience and our instructor was very lovely. I gave it as a gift for my friends birthday and we had a fantastic time. The scents were so nice, and the candle turned out exactly how we were hoping. The vibes were great all around, and of course the wine was a fun addition to the experience. Would 100% do it again and would recommend for friends or couples.


Anonymized ClassBento student




I booked a class for my birthday with a few friends. Everyone loved the class! The teachers made it so fun with candle trivia, helping pour drinks, and just creating an overall incredible vibe. They even gave us all gift cards to use in the shop. I really recommend the class for any event or if you want to just find a fun activity to do with friends.


Doan Buu




My wife and I took the pet bowl class for an upcoming holiday gift exchange, and we were really happy with our decision! Natalie was very nice, helpful, and imformative and created a fun, relaxing environment. I'd never really worked in clay and by the end of the class I was quickly putting together my second bowl without much help or instruction! Two hours went by in a flash, I'd definitely recommend to anybody who wants to spend an afternoon crafting creatively.


Moongelina Hanson




Brittany and Cristian made the experience fun and comfortable, truly loved it. I think the cost for the class was really worth it, and the scents are to die for. I will be telling all my friends and anyone asking for recommendations for fun and relaxing to do in NYC. I also love the gift shop and how it felt like a little secret hang out when we went to where the class was taking place, it was a very  + more

My all time favorite store to shop and browse around when in Bushwick!!!! The atmosphere is always so cozy and they’re always playing the tunes! My partner and I recently did their candle making class and it was probably one of the best experiences we’ve done this year. The candle making studio is so nice and intimate, it’s perfect for a date night! Cristian and Britt were very helpful and  + more

Ann Marie Rocco




This was a gift to me from family as I always wanted to learn how to make mozzarella. I thought the class size was nice and enabled the teacher to be very engaged with the class. The teacher was great and very personable. She made it very enjoyable. I liked being able to jump right into making cheese, was fun.


Gina Martinelli




The tickets were a gift for my sister for us to take the class with her two daughters. Several busy months later, we were able to schedule it. It was such a fun class! The instructor is personable, knowledgeable, and very engaging. I would definitely recommend this class!


Edwin Froehlich




I got this for a gift for my girlfriend for valentines day. I printed out ClassBento and let her pick the class of her choosing. She landed on Red Inside Pasta Class and she could not have chose a better class. 100/100. I cannot wait to take another one of their classes! The two chefs were incredible and full of knowledge. Awesome experience, highly recommended.


Christopher Hutton




This was a xmas gift for my partner and we both enjoyed it. Teacher was great spending enough time with everyone to make sure we did not struggle. Venue had enough wheels, space and materials and we did learn the basics as set out. Yes I would recommend this class to any beginners.


Orri Cohen




Very fun and easy to learn. Great birthday gift for my wife and I to do together.


Pamela




This class was a gift from my daughter. Our teacher was engaging, informative, knowledgeable and entertaining (funny)! The professional kitchen was clean, spacious, and well-equipped. We (a class of 16) had plenty of room to observe, participate in demonstrations, and do the work of the class - making dumplings! We learned how to roll a spring roll with rice wrappers, how to make dumpling dough, and four ways to roll and shape dumplings. Our teacher's demonstrations were detail-oriented but not overly complicated. Our creations were steamed and  + more


Carson Elrod




This is a GREAT time. I was given this class as a Christmas present and it's one of the best gifts I've ever gotten. The class size is small. My teacher was Gerard, and he was warm, nurturing, enthusiastic, encouraging, skilled, and patient. This is a no-nonsense class where you really learn by doing. There's a quick hello and then you're geared up and pounding on molten pieces of rebar like you're a Viking blacksmith forging a sword. After hammering, shaping, quenching, grinding, and weaving, four hours later you leave the workshop with a knife  + more


Clara Smith




The class was great! Instructors were super friendly and helpful! It was a gift for my mom, would recommend.
