The Coolest Creative Classes to Take in NYC This Winter

Interested in taking a fun, enriching, or creative class of some sort this winter? Below, we spotlight dozens of worthy options in the realm of food, beauty, science, art, floral design, and more.

Colder temps and chilly breezes mean that fewer activities are going on outdoors in New York City at this time, which means it’s the perfect time to focus on self-care, mental health, and picking up some new skills. Below, we spotlight several New York City classes that have piqued our attention this Winter.
