Description

You can have and do it all on this Savory Sojourn. Shop, taste, cook, dine - and even learn about the history of Greenwich Village.

Meet us at an Italian Caffe for a cappuccino before we explore the area around Bleecker Street. We'll make stops in:
  • cheese stores
  • a pork store
  • a specialty olive oil shop
  • a bread store
  • and a 100 year old coffee and tea emporium
Then we'll head to a charming cooking school in the area where we'll learn to make a delicious home-cooked meal. The exact meal our group prepares will vary by day, but in the past, some of the dishes we created were: fresh pastas and sauces; leg of lamb; roasted pear salad; roast cod with lentil sauce; and molten chocolate cake

Afterwards we'll enjoy the fruits of our labors with a festive meal and a glass of wine at a communal table.
