Red Inside Culinary Studio hosts private dining, team cooking classes and small corporate meals for up to 16 guests at its studio in Greenwich Village, and for 20 to 40 guests in a larger shared space in Little Italy. The studio is at 109 MacDougal Street in New York, and the team plans each event around the group, from a birthday dinner to a corporate lunch.
Seminars and company events
The studio offers corporate breakfasts, lunches and dinners, and its private events suit team gatherings where the group cooks or eats together. The Iron Chef competition is the format built for team building. The group splits into two teams, receives a basket of secret ingredients such as pork, chicken or salmon, and has 90 minutes to prepare a dish. No cooking experience is needed, and the chef on hand assists both teams.
Private classes can also be designed around an occasion. Past special events include a dinner in Tappan, a wine dinner with pairings chosen to match the food, and Japanese cooking classes. The team asks organizers to describe their idea and then builds a class around it.
Rooms and capacities
The Culinary Studio in Greenwich Village is the main private setting. It receives intimate events for up to 16 guests, and the official text names birthdays, baby showers, afternoon tea and corporate meals as typical uses. Private class formats are listed for 8 to 16 guests, and one format for 8 to 34 guests.
For larger groups of 20 to 40 guests, the studio offers a shared space in the heart of Little Italy. Pricing and details for that larger venue are given on request through the contact form.
Catering
Private dining gives the group the entire studio, with dedicated chefs cooking for the event. The group can choose one of the four-course menus or work with the chef to create a menu from scratch. Private dining is available upon request only, so organizers should contact the team before assuming a date. The studio also lists tailored catering and culinary consulting among its services. Guests can eat in the dining room between courses, which the studio's own guests describe as a comfortable place to wait while the next course is set up.
Weddings and receptions
Red Inside Culinary does not present itself as a wedding or reception venue. Its events are intimate and centered on cooking and dining, from birthdays and baby showers to afternoon tea.
Getting there
The studio is on MacDougal Street, in Greenwich Village, on the second floor, in suite 2. The address is 109 MacDougal Street, New York, and the team can be reached through the contact form, by email or by phone for date and layout questions. Greenwich Village is walkable and well connected by subway, so guests coming from Midtown or Brooklyn can reach the studio without a car. Organizers booking the larger Little Italy space should confirm that venue's address with the team when they inquire.
