A Culinary & Cultural Escape to NYC

Start your Big Apple getaway by checking into your elegant boutique hotel in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. Conveniently located in the midst of the City’s excitement, it's the perfect place to call home for this vacation. On one of the evenings, you’ll visit one of the top recreational culinary schools in New York City to nurture your inner chef. Whether new to the kitchen or a culinary veteran looking to add to your repertoire, you'll enjoy this fine evening with a top-notch chef instructor. Best of all, you will join your classmates in a multi-course meal that you helped prepare! On your second day in Manhattan you will take a savory walking tour of Chelsea Marketing and the Meatpacking District, learning insider facts while sampling famous New York fare at local eateries and specialty shops that you might not otherwise experience. After your tasty lunch tour, the day is yours to seek out other favorite New York adventures and sites. Hopefully you’ll save room for more fabulous cuisine later in the evening, because you will be dining at one of New York’s top restaurants guided by one of the City’s preeminent chefs.
