(NEW YORK) — Looking for a unique activity in New York City? Wick and Pour invites you to craft your own custom candle and scent at their NoLita studio on Mott Street or their West Village studio on Bleecker Street, with prices starting at $50.
“Instead of just selling candles, we sell the experience of making candles with everybody,” said Denise Coronel, the operations manager at Wick and Pour.
Alongside fellow instructor Madelyn Snyder, Coronel guides guests through the art of candle-making, blending creativity and connection.
Snyder believes the experience is perfect for those seeking something different from usual outings in the city.
“I feel like so much of New York City culture typically ends up being, going out for drinks, going out for dinner, shows, and things like that, so I feel this new wave of DIY things coming in, has been nice for people because it is just something different to do which is fun and creative too,” she said.

The Vanishing Teen Reader
Over the course of two decades, the teen magazine has quietly disappeared, replaced with digital imitators. One by one, the anchor publications of girlhood disappeared from newsstands. CosmoGirl! folded in 2008. Teen People ended its print run two years earlier. Elle Girl shut down its U.S. edition. Seventeen reduced its print presence to a handful of special issues before going mostly digital. Rookie, the teen magazine built by a teen, shut down in 2018. By the late 2010s, Teen Vogue had also gone digital-only, later folded deeper into the larger Vogue brand in 2025.
