All of the best spots in NYC for your dream anime date night that are not just the manga section in a book store or gundam section in a toy shop (though I will be having a seperate list for those places soon)! From kawaii photo spots, anime conversation starters, date night workshops and the iconic vending machine and karaoke spots, I'll be covering the permanent year round locations organized by price. Reservations may be required, and this list will continue to grow as more spots open!

I've worked with over 20 different art mediums and over a hundred of different kinds of products, and usually they all started with a beginner kit of some kind. Some kits are better than others (aka that crochet kit where the yarn is truly impossible to use), but I wanted to share some that have real potential to helping you get to know the craft on a budget, and give you an advantage to jump start a potential new small business endeavor! This list was made by combing through thousands of listings looking for top rated and best reviewed products. In addition to finding only the best products for you, nearly all of these I have either tried myself or have tried products from the brand and really enjoyed!
