Drawing Room: Your creative third space - New York, New York

The only reason I hesitate to leave a glowing review is because I feel like I've found a secret space and I don't want it to be discovered because it feels so special and personal. But wow this place is amazing! It's a welcoming space to hang out with friends, craft, and just exist. They have coffee and loose-leaf tea and you're welcome to bring your own project or purchase the art library to use some of their supplies. I cannot wait to go back!!!

It was a rainy day yesterday, but I still motivated myself to check this place out. I would encourage you to follow @nycdrawingroom to check out other classes or visit their website. I signed up for the charm class, and it was so much fun! I had plenty of time to mingle and meet other creative folks while also focusing on my necklace and pair of earrings. The instructor was amazing, and the place had such an amazing vibe. I will definitely be coming back here again. Don’t forget to grab your free art passport. I believe once you visit the Drawing Room a certain number of times and receive a stamp each time you attend an activity, you can earn a free activity. I highly recommend this place. The ambiance and the people are super cool! Remember to bring your creative mindset and meet some awesome folks!

Such a fun place to relax, decompress, and tap into your creative muscles. The staff was beyond helpful, and the ambiance was a perfect blend of cozy with cool beats in the background to help get creativity flowing. The art wall was my favorite, but every corner of the space had separate inspirational prompts to encourage working with different mediums.

I celebrated my birthday at the Drawing Room and it was a magical experience! Meiying hosted a Watercolor workshop for the event and it was perfect for my range of friends, from those who are complete beginners to those who paint regularly. It was great mixing groups, as there were social warm up exercises and cozy nooks with comfy couches and chairs. We had a cake break that fit seamlessly into the workshop!!

Beautiful space! Highly recommend for gathering with friends or creating solo.

Edit: be sure to check their Instagram for updates on open hours before dropping in; the website does not currently reflect closures for private events.

This is an amazing place! Extremely cozy vibe inside, beautifully decorated. My friend and I did the all day pass with the art library add on and spent hours crafting and chatting. You can bring food and drinks which is a plus, and the selection of crafting materials is great! Loooooved it 💕

I love this spot! I attended a watercolor class with Meiying and had an amazing time. She made watercolor fun, approachable, and easy. The space is cozy, creative, and welcoming. Would 10/10 come back regularly for more classes!

My friends and I spontaneously booked a Friday evening crafting session at The Drawing Room and were pleasantly surprised! We opted for the additional $15 Art Kit to access the supplies since we didn't have them at home to bring. Included in the $20 all day admission is unlimited coffee and tea, couches, tables, wifi, fridge/microwave usage. Since all of us live in different parts of the NYC metro area, this was such a lowkey and central place to gather that truly felt like a living room; for real, we brought socks to wear throughout the place! I especially loved that we could bring our own snacks/food and drinks. I'll definitely be returning - whether solo or with friends.
