I am planning a trip to New York this June from the 19th to the 26th and am looking to take a few cooking classes during my stay. I was wondering if anyone may be able to make any suggestions or recomendations of some that are reputable, but won't break the bank.
Thank you so much.

The New School, located in the Village, has a great culinary school through their Continuing Ed program. They have lots of 1 day and weekend classes in every type of cooking topic you can imagine, and many are taught by famous chefs. I've taken a ton of classes through them and would highly recommend them. You can check them out at www.newschool.edu.

I have taken several classes at the Institute of Culinary Education - www.iceculinary.com -- They are located at 50 W. 23rd St. (NYC) -- I received the summer schedule (in the mail) last week . 212 847-0700.
You may also want to post @ www.egullet.com -- aside from egullet's online school - it's a great resource --

Thank you for the prompt reply. I did a bit of background research on these two places already and we will only be able to go to a handful of them. Is there anything more funky or chic that could be suggested? I am thinking along the lines of about $200 american dollars total (either per class or for a few, right afer each other)
Thanks

2nd vote for the New School. They have some really interesting culinary courses with various types of cuisine. Check out their course schedule online at http://www.nsu.newschool.edu/culinar...currcourse.htm

They have classes that specialize in Italian cooking, baking, healthy eating, Southeast Asian, etc. Pretty comprehensive. They also have 1 day classes for wine tasting and a whole slew of other stuff.
