What to do and see in New York, United States: The Best Lessons & Workshops

October 14, 2021 Diedre Savory

New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

I scheduled a one-hour private trampoline lesson for my 10-year old niece (from AZ) on her first trip to NYC in October. She is a skilled gymnast, has her own trampoline. and was thrilled to have a private one-on-one lesson with Hal who was outstanding! The setting and school are phenomenal, and we got great shots of One World Trade Center in the background. My niece said she got a lot of helpful advice that she had never previously received. Hal is patient, gave clear instructions and was just great! I felt the charges were reasonable and everyone at the school was so helpful and pleasant!

We attended the 6:30pm class on Saturday August 10th. I booked it to celebrate our wedding anniversary. All of the staff was very friendly and informative. We learned a lot about how to make pizza at home in your own oven using simple ingredients and tools. The class started off by making our own dough from scratch. While our dough was rising, the staff created four pizzas for us to try. Then it was time to make our own. After sampling the sauce and some cheeses we took our dough and created four pizzas however we chose. We decided to create a margarita, classic NY pepperoni, a white pizza and last a desert pizza. We ended up taking home almost three whole pizzas. At the end of the night we went home satisfied, stuffed and with plenty of leftovers and happy memories. We cannot wait to give this as a gift for others to experience. This is a must do if you like pizza and great for a date night.

My adult daughter and I were on a girls trip and wanted to have some shared experiences. We really enjoyed making our own paperweights and blown glass pumpkins. The experience was both very informative and enjoyable. We were pleasantly surprised by how truly hands on it was when we were making the paperweights. It provided us both with memories of a great shared experience and wonderful keepsakes to take home. Highly recommend doing this.

I can't say enough great things about Mindy. First off, she's a likable and relatable person. She makes photography fun and sensical - doesn't get caught up in all the technical mumbo jumbo! After not touching my DSLR for three years I'm excited to pick it up again! HGHLY recommend taking a class or private lesson with Mindy. JUST DO IT, you won't be sorry!
