Ordered salmon special, miso soup, age tofu, and AAC rolls. Salmon and AAC were great. Age tofu was alright. Decent cocktails as well.
I've scoured the internet looking for a one-off pottery class, and Brooklyn Clay Industries is the best I could find!
Some highlights:
- The people running the place make or break an experience. Reuben and Elsa at BCI are incredibly kind and loveable people. They went out of their way to accommodate us on our special day. They also let me check the place out before booking a class. Reuben was very patient with us, explaining the process while also keeping it interesting with some history/trivia/conversation.
- The place has a beautiful view of the Navy Yard basin and the Williamsburg Bridge. If you can get there for a session around sunset, that'd be perfect. Contrary to the reviews online, the place is extremely easy to find. Google Maps Pin is accurate. Just navigate. Use any of the two metal doors and get to the 3rd floor. And if you dig the 'back to the past' industrial look like I do, this place is for you!
- Probably the only place that offers one-time classes midweek/most weekdays!
- From what I checked, BCI has the best price point for a 2 hour class in Brooklyn/Manhattan. They had good equipment and materials. From a beginners perspective, the clay/wheel were easy to work with.
- They also have ceramics for sale. Proceeds go towards sponsored school programs.
- Interesting places to check nearby. I have no idea what Newlabs is, but it's beautiful! They also have a café inside. Transmitter brewery is worth checking out.
Would definitely return.

Good basketball courts. 2 full courts, single rims, fresh nets. Beautiful park overall.
