Happy Medium is honestly one of my favorite spots in NYC. It’s this cozy little art café in Two Bridges where you can sit with a matcha and just make stuff. You choose from a menu of art supplies—watercolor, clay, charcoal, oil pastels—and they set you up with everything you need. The vibe is super laid-back and creative, like a warm hug for your brain. No pressure to be “good”—you’re just encouraged to play. The space is gorgeous too: light-filled, filled with art books, dried flowers, and really chill music. It’s perfect for solo dates, friend hangs, or something actually fun to do with someone you’re seeing. You leave with whatever you made and this weirdly euphoric feeling—like you remembered something about yourself. Highly recommend if you need a break from your screen and want to feel human again.
