Last week I wrote about the 7th Annual Gourmet Institute coming up this fall. Today I want to feature the Astor Center, one of the venues where the Gourmet Institute will be held.
The Astor Center is located in NoHo’s historic landmark De Vinne Press Building, and is home to classes and events based around the pleasures of the table with some of the finest mixologists, chefs, educators, oenophiles and gourmands in the world.
The Astor Center features several classes each months, some of the classes you can attend there in July include:
- Vodka – History in Liquid Form! ~A hands on class where you can learn about the history of Vodka and the spirit world.
- Snouts, Trotters, Ears & Tails with Ryan Skeen~ Celebrate the pig, and learn how to use every piece of pork.
- Drinking Stars: Pairing Dom Pérignon with Sushi
The Astor Center is where old and new meet. It’s located in New York’s historical Greenwich Village, but the center itself features state of the art green technology for their presentations and classes.
You can find out more information on their part in the upcoming Gourmet Institute, and their classes at the Astor Center website.
