GoogleI stopped by Holy Dog Cafe and had a really nice experience. I ordered a hot chai, which was comforting and warming—perfect for spending some time working. The café has a relaxed, casual vibe that makes it easy to focus, and it felt comfortable to sit with my laptop for a while.
By far the superior Pilates spot in NYC. I've been coming here for 3 years and I never wanted to go for another studio. I worked mostly with Ferhat and occasionally Megumi and they are both extremely knowledgeable and understanding instructors. Classes are challenging and I highly recommend it.
It’s the only Pilates studio I go to in NY, each instructor has their own style of teaching class but they’re all so patient, kind, hands on with pointers + modifications, and are just overall lovely people. The location changed - they’re not on the 8th floor of 192 but next to vfs on 32nd street and it’s such a lovely space!! Classes take place upstairs and there’s a spacious, clean cafe downstairs with great barista who know what they’re doing. :)
Excellent service, they are super friendly, and the coffee and pastries are delicious.
I went for my first class today. I am an experienced regular Pilates go-er. And this class was challenging but also fun. I think what make a class fun are the limitless unique moves you can explore w the reformer and it was super fun to try unique flows and routine I’ve never tried before. Highly recommend! Very attentive and hands on instructor. Small class with attention to detail.
