24 DIY Studio — Local services in New York

Had my daughter's birthday party with her friends at 24 DIY Studio this past weekend and everyone had a great time. Studio reserved back tables for 12 teens to work at, spacious and plenty of room.

A few children looked at me curiously, and two young Asian women greeted me with bright smiles, inviting me to sit and wait until the rain passed.

Even though I had brought water in with me and left puddles on the floor, they showed nothing but kindness and positive energy. I truly hope their business continues to grow and thrive.
