More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off a Brooklyn street into low light and the hum of a bar that smells of citrus, spirits and—unexpectedly—freshly melted wax. The counter is set with glass vessels, a row of fragrance bottles, and a friendly instructor who walks the room with practiced calm. Over the next two hours the bar becomes a small studio: soy wax liquefies, scent notes are weighed, and strangers trade preferences as they craft a candle to take home.
