La Bodeguita is a new craft café and wellness studio opening inside one of Camp North End's vintage Airstreams.
What to expect: Instead of the deli meats and junk food you'd find inside a typical bodega, La Bodeguita will offer crafting experiences, like postcard collages, clay hand building and watercolor painting.
The menu of craft activities will rotate seasonally, and each will be self-guided, according to a press release.
There will be seats outside the airstream for more than 15 people to craft and each activity will cost between $15-$35 per person.
La Bodeguita is for adults only; BYOB and BYO-food is encouraged.
Set-up and clean-up will be handled by owner Michelle Fernandez, a local mental health therapist best known for her creative pop-up Limoncito Goods.
Why it matters: "Art allows us as humans to tap into the parts of us that are bursting with creation and where we can also find curative and therapeutic benefits," Fernandez said in a statement.
Stop by: La Bodeguita will open on May 3 in Camp North End's Boileryard District, near Canteen, Gravity Sourdough Pizza and Hip Hop Smoothies.
It'll be open Fridays 7-10pm and Saturdays-Sundays from 12-8pm.
Reservations for crafts will go live on Wednesdays for the following week.
