Try mixology classes and shake up your date nights

Instead of going out for cocktails at your usual drinking spot, why not learn how to make them with a professional bartender? Our cocktail classes in NYC make it easy for you to pick up new recipes and the techniques to make them.

You’ll get an in-depth lesson in spirits, mixers, and creating the right balance of flavors. The best part is picking up bartending skills you can perfect when you make cocktails at home. If you love gin martinis, you can try alternatives with vodka or if you’ve never tried a negroni recipe, this is the place to add it to your cocktail repertoires.

Meet new people, make friends with a mixologist, and share a fun night of handcrafted drinks with your special someone. If your giftee is a whiskey connoisseur or always ready to play bartender at your dinner parties, a cocktail-making class is the perfect experience gift idea for them! 

Get rolling with sushi making

Treat your best couple friends to a memorable date night with a sushi making class in NYC! Rather than a gift card to your favorite sushi restaurant, they can learn how to make custom sushi rolls as they connect over a fun activity. 

With a sushi making class, you’ll learn the skills to assemble your favorite rolls. You’ll get tips and tricks from a sushi chef so you can create rolls like an expert. 

This workshop is tons of fun and it’s the perfect excuse to get hands-on with your food. You’ll get to know other couples and enjoy all the sushi you make. Not only will you learn new culinary skills, but you’ll also enjoy a dinner date that lets you connect in a new way.       

Get your glow on with body painting

If you really want to stretch your creativity and strengthen your bonds, you should take a body painting class for couples. This adult art class in Brooklyn lets you have an intimate date night with a creative twist. 

Using UV body paint, you’ll get to cover each other under black lights so you glow in the dark. Your instructor will give you a demonstration before you get started, but the rest is up to you! There are no rules when it comes to making each other a canvas for your art and you don’t need painting skills to enjoy the workshop.

This is the ultimate adventure for couples who aren’t shy about trying new things, and even if you are you’ll feel at ease in this laid-back class. It’s a way for you to use your imagination and get closer to your partner in a unique NYC experience.
