"I went to the annual ceramics sale. I bought some lovely gifts. Some items on display for sale were out of my price range, but beautiful. I had a chance to look around briefly. I will look into other programs and events."

"We had our son's 5th birthday party here this summer in August at the outdoor pool not knowing what to expect, but it was all-around perfectly executed, the children had so much fun, communication with the staff was excellent and there were swim instructors there making sure everyone was safe and having fun so the parents could all relax and enjoy!! Look at that!! Will be planning my younger son's birthday here in a few years. Thank you so much 92NY."

"Along with many supporters of your wonderful programs, my husband and I are dismayed by the decision to censor the participation of Viet Thanh Nguyen. You have failed in the defense of the most fundamental human rights and our confidence in your judgment has been shaken. Please defend freedom of expression, especially at moments like these when fundamental rights are being violated."

"5 stars for the beautiful facility in a central location; 1 star for the oil painting for absolute beginners class I spent $300 on. I would’ve needed to spend another $100-200 on all the supplies. But the real kicker is that the instructor didn’t bother to teach… anything. As it states, I’m an absolute beginner. I don’t know what materials to mix with what, I don’t know the differences between oil or acrylic, I don’t know the different types of paintbrushes and when to use them… I asked the teacher multiple times for help and I got a vague “just feel things out” every time. When I looked visibly frustrated, she went on a “be kind to yourself” speech. I’m literally paying hundreds to learn and she wasn’t bothering to teach. The girl next to me said she goes home and Googles/Youtubes everything herself! Instead of paying to have a teacher play indie music and sit down while I blindly figure things out, I could order supplies and self teach at home for free. I never showed up again and lost the $300. What a waste. I’m interested in other classes here still, and wondering if this was just a fluke. I’d be open to considering a different class (with a different teacher) in the future."

"I want to write a RAVE Review about the great staff members who work at the 92nd Street Y’s BOX OFFICE. The evening that I came with a complicated issue, having inadvertently purchased tickets for an interview with Harvey Fierstein. My error was thinking that Harvey was being interviewed by Amy Schumer, but instead Harvey was interviewing Amy Schneider. Fortunately, Chris, Jonathan and Kim were able to refund my tickets and credit them for a future event. I was very impressed by their empathy and their dedication to this wonderful organization."
