East Falls Glassworks

Philadelphia's public-access hot shop hands total beginners a blowpipe and a 2,000°F furnace on their very first visit — Philadelphia Magazine tapped it as a Best of Philly 'Hot Date' pick specifically for the private-lesson experience.

The move: Book a private lesson together, gather molten glass on the pipe under an instructor's hands-on guidance, and each take home a self-blown ornament or tumbler as proof of your "red-hot evening."
