Your next amazing night out awaits you at Paddywax
We found a place where you can meet up with friends for drinks, while making something that looks good (and smells good).
And the best part? You get to walk away with something YOU created!
Paddywax started 20 years ago, and their products are carried in stores like Urban Outfitters, Neiman Marcus, and Paper Source.
Just a few years ago, they started doing 'candle pouring' workshops where they guide you through the process of making your own candle from start to finish. And it's BYO, so sipping through the workshop is encouraged - and they will soon have a small bar located in the store!

Liberty Bellows is an accordion shop that aims to squeeze
In the Mid-Atlantic region of the country, you might find shops that only sell new accordions or some that only repair accordions, or ones that only give lessons.
But Liberty Bellows in Philadelphia does it all!
Owner Michael Bulboff started the business in 2009, and it has grown into a place where they buy, sell, rent, trade, repair, and teach!
With a background in finance and technology, Michael started playing the instrument when he was a teen after finding his father's old accordion in the attic.
