  NYC: THE CULINARY CAPITAL
       
       
  Quick, think of the best food city in the country. Most people would say New York. It's America's Paris. And like Paris, it attracts the most talented chefs, bakers, culinary artists and restaurateurs from around the world. Headlines, careers and fortunes are made here. So, naturally, New York City is an incredible place to attend culinary school.

In the city, students at The Institute of Culinary Education have access to year-round outdoor markets, purveyors of everything from aged beef and vintage wines to foie gras and French cookware, as well as more world-renowned restaurants than any other city. Because New York is a culinary melting pot, our students enjoy and learn from the abundance of foreign cuisines - from Turkish and Brazilian to Thai and Indian, among others. And the famous Union Square Greenmarket, as well as the legendary gourmet food shops Dean & DeLuca, Citarella and Zabar's, has proven to be continually fascinating!

  In addition to offering our students a wealth of extracurricular activities, the city also acts as an extended classroom. I.C.E. has developed strong relationships with restaurants in order to enhance the education of every student. For example, our externship program, one of the finest in the nation, places students in top restaurants and pastry shops as a way for them to hone their skills. In fact, our students are often offered jobs by these very same businesses even before they finish their externship. Also, New York has the highest concentration of media headquarters, from best-selling food magazines to the Food Network, giving our students entrée to some of the industry's best and brightest food leaders.

What's more, New York City is home to the James Beard Foundation, an organization that was created by Peter Kump, the founder of I.C.E. Several times a week our students get the chance to work side by side with the best chefs in the country, helping to prepare outstanding meals for some of New York's most sophisticated palates. It's an experience few pass up.

Our 50 West 23rd Street address, in the Flatiron district, is in the center of Manhattan. Students find our convenient location to be the perfect starting point for exploring the city's culinary scene.
