Renzo Gracie Academy
I suggest wearing comfortable clothes for class; you might want to grab a gi if you plan to roll! They do have rentals, but it’s better to bring your own if you can.
Empire Cruises
I suggest bringing snacks and drinks - the prices on board can be kinda high. We got a little hungry during the trip and regretted not packing a picnic!
My advice is to book your tickets online in advance. I waited too long and ended up paying a bit more at the dock. Save yourself that extra cash!
I really recommend checking the weather before you go. We had amazing views, but the wind was super strong and it made it a bit hard to enjoy. Look for calm days if you can!
Team Prospect Martial Arts Academy
Suggest bringing a water bottle, especially if you're planning on doing a lot of training. I forgot mine and it was a long session without a drink. Trust me, it's a must!
Marcelo Garcia Jiu-Jitsu Academy
If you're a beginner, try to arrive around 10:30 AM for the noon class; it's less crowded and you'll get more personal attention. Trust me, it's worth it!
Karate Do Ken Wa Kan
I suggest wearing comfy clothes and bringing your own water bottle. The dojo can get super warm, and you’ll want to stay hydrated during the classes. Plus, they don't always have extra cups available.
I think there are some good deals on classes if you buy a package. Check for promos on their website or ask when you get there. It can really save you some cash in the long run.
Goldfish Swim School - Gowanus
I suggest checking if they have any promotions or family packages when you sign up. I found I saved a little cash on my second visit by asking about returning customer discounts!
Harlem Tae Kwon Do
My advice is to bring a water bottle, you're going to sweat a lot. Hydration is key, and you can save money by refilling it instead of buying drinks on site.
LeFrak Center at Lakeside
I recommend checking their schedule for themed nights or special events. I stumbled upon a fun disco skate night, which made for a great surprise!
My advice is to bring your own water bottle to fill up. The prices for drinks at the café are higher than you'd think, and it helps save a few bucks!
John McEnroe Tennis Academy
Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers
I recommend getting there early, like around 10 am, to avoid the crowds. It was way less hectic, and I had way more space to skate, which made it super enjoyable!
