Home Cooking New York was founded by Jennifer Clair in May 2002. After years of writing cookbooks, recipes, and food editorials for Martha Stewart Living, the opportunity to come together with eager culinary students in a kitchen classroom seemed like the next logical step. Over the last 11 years, the company has grown to include 6 outstanding chef-instructors, all ready to be dispatched into home kitchens all over New York City, or feel free to sign up for cooking instruction at the school! HCNY’s classes range from the basic cooking techniques to cuisine-focused favorites.

We??ll graze the brightly-colored offerings at an Indian sweet shop and sample some of the best gulab jamun and rasmalai in the city. Along the way, we??ll be sure to keep awake with cups of chai (spiced tea) while sampling a variety of freshly baked dosas.
After the tour you will have the confidence to walk into any Indian restaurant or snack shop and order things you never knew you could.
The tour will begin and end at the excellent Indian grocery, Apna Bazar.

Manhattan??s Chinatown is full of edible treasures that are hidden from the beaten path, making it NYC??s most jam-packed neighborhood for discovering delicious foods.
Chef-Instructor John Scoff knows his way around these streets like the back of his hand.

The tour will end at Kam Man Foods so you have a chance to pick up a few well-priced pieces of Asian cooking equipment and ingredients before heading back to the subway.

Chinatown Tasting Tour

Betsy Salamon-Sufott and Tom Salamon, sister and brother, conceptualized and created the Accomplice show inspired by their love for scavenger hunts as children. They knew that the mystery of surprise and intrigue, often lost in adulthood, would be a great concept to build upon for entertainment. In 2007, the Accomplice team debuted an all new NYC adventure, Accomplice: The Village. Additionally, the team has recently joined forces with co-producer Neil Patrick Harris, a fan of the show, on a similar production of Accomplice based in California.

Accomplice

Accomplice is an interactive theater experience unlike any found on stage, taking audiences on an actual journey through the city streets. You will be sent on a mission, aided by clues and mysterious cast members strewn throughout various locations such as street corners, bars, iconic landmarks and hidden venues. Groups of 10 traverse the city streets piecing together clues of a meticulously crafted plot and relying on their own street smarts and intuition to make it to the end.

Settled by Italian immigrants in the early party of the 19th century, the Arthur Avenue section of the Bronx grew into a small replica of their Italian homeland??s small village of shops and services. Today, Arthur Avenue is still teaming with high-quality butcher shops, cheese makers, seafood markets, bakeries, pasta stores, restaurants and produce markets. Generations of Italians still live, work and shop in this vital neighborhood. And for those who moved away, they still return for the essentials that aren??t available to them in city or the surrounding suburbs.
You??ll sample some of the neighborhood??s best bites: olive bread, prosciutto bread, the best fresh mozzarella knots this side of Italy, clams on the half shell, cured meats, fresh-filled cannolis (never buy them pre-filled!).
