Hey Astorians,
i'm looking for a space to rent for my cooking classes in the area. I'm focusing on kids and youth classes, so not much hot stove cooking, but definitely a place with a decent kitchen, even better open kitchen, would be great. I've got pretty much all the equipment i need, but a facility with some refrigeration and more important good aeration (exhaust system or a really powerful make up air would suffice) would really help the operation. I looked around a bit, but most places are plain party hall with no cooking allowed or are commercial grade kitchens, but really unfriendly for potential students.
If anybody knows also some local restaurant or catering place that may be willing to make some extra money allowing me to run my own classes within their facility, please pass infos along. I'm open to collaborations with local businesses if that would help sort a deal out.
Thanks!!!
Ivan
