The Perfect Venue for Your Event

Private Parties, Team-building and Corporate Events

Located in the heart of Little Italy, our Mulberry Street space is an 1800 sq. ft loft, with exposed brick walls, open chef’s kitchen, rustic wood tables, two bathrooms, and a landscaped outdoor terrace. Cooking parties and corporate events with up to 30 people, seated, can be accommodated here. We have hosted memorable engagement parties, birthdays, anniversaries, holiday gatherings, business meetings, and even a few wedding proposals (hint: the ring was hidden in the soufflé).

People with all levels of cooking experience enjoy a hands-on cooking party: the more practiced home chef picks up new ideas while the beginner gains confidence. Participants expand skills and knowledge in the kitchen as they socialize and create a memorable lunch or dinner together. This is followed by a wonderful meal in a beautifully appointed private space. It’s a festive way to engage your guests, and it’s fun!

Bringing colleagues together to communicate, collaborate, and create a meal together is an ideal way for team members to connect outside the office and find common ground. They can get to know each other while having a great time and sharing the meal that they have made together.

 Food & Wine Pairing Parties

Enjoy a food and wine pairing event with wines that complement the dinner that you and your guests have made. While you enjoy your meal, a professional sommelier, who has selected wines based on your menu, leads the food and wine pairing part of the evening.  You’ll learn about the grapes, wine growing regions, characteristics of the wines, and why they resonate with the food you have prepared. Additional fees apply.

Please contact the office via our message form or by phone at (212) 460-9322 to get a quote for the event you have in mind.
