Things to do in New York City, New York (NY): The Best Cooking Classes
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

We attended the 6:30pm class on Saturday August 10th. I booked it to celebrate our wedding anniversary. All of the staff was very friendly and informative. We learned a lot about how to make pizza at home in your own oven using simple ingredients and tools. The class started off by making our own dough from scratch. While our dough was rising, the staff created four pizzas for us to try. Then it was time to make our own. After sampling the sauce and some cheeses we took our dough and created four pizzas however we chose. We decided to create a margarita, classic NY pepperoni, a white pizza and last a desert pizza. We ended up taking home almost three whole pizzas. At the end of the night we went home satisfied, stuffed and with plenty of leftovers and happy memories. We cannot wait to give this as a gift for others to experience. This is a must do if you like pizza and great for a date night.

We love cooking classes and this ranks amongst our favourite. We took the southern-style bbq and can’t wait to try the recipes in our own kitchen. Highly recommend for an afternoon away from the hustle and bustle of NYC

5. Abigail's Kitchen Cooking Classes & Dinners in the Dark (Camaje Bistro)
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 8 reviews
The flow of a private cooking class at Abigail's Kitchen look like this: you and your friends/clients/coworkers arrive, and we ply you with drinks. After 15 minutes or so, we gather around to discuss the menu. After talking in detail about the menu we get to work on the prep for the various parts of the menu. All of this takes place in the dining area on our beautiful butcher block work tables. We head to the kitchen as needed , to get on the stove and in the oven, and then we transform the dining area from prep area to one big table for eating. We're very flexible when it comes to menu. We love to cook just about anything, don't worry about dietary restrictions we can accommodate your needs. Please contact us for more details and small or large group private parties.
