"I worked with many talented professionals to design The Culinary Loft to be the finest private event space in New York City. We combined the warmth and intimacy of a private space with a state-of-the-art kitchen. I’d love for you to experience the delightful ambience we create with elegant and simply crafted foods. Plan your next event with us; invite friends and family, or associates and clients to come mingle together in our beautiful loft."

The Loft Space
Gracious entertaining requires gracious space. The Culinary Loft’s 2,000 square feet of entertaining area was designed by Culinary Loft founder Corinne Colen. As a professional photographer, her sense of light and color introduced the use of natural elements and textures — including supple leather armchairs, natural maple and cherry cabinetry, granite and marble countertops — ultimately creating a warm and inviting ambience.
The open space is flexible allowing The Culinary Loft to create an arrangement that expresses the atmosphere of your event. We invite you to take a tour of our gallery of photographs that will help you to imagine what your event might unfold here at The Culinary Loft.
The Kitchen
The crown jewel of The Culinary Loft is our spacious 400-square-foot kitchen.
The Loft’s kitchen effortlessly fulfills the most sophisticated demands of a Michelin-starred executive chef and the complex logistical and aesthetic requirements of a media producer, and sets just the right tone for any cooking class. We invite you to visit our gallery so that you can begin to imagine what your event could look like at the Culinary Loft.
A well planned foot print, extensive counter space, an overhead mirror and enough electrical outlets to bring a studio alive while comfortably accommodating as many as 12 people working simultaneously! Maple cabinetry and colorful tiles convey a soothing home-style ambience.
Boasting a large Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, two sinks, two Thermador ovens and gas ranges, and a microwave, our kitchen is designed to deliver fabulous meals and successful media events. The optical Mylar mirror when suspended above the center cooktop island provides an audience or film crew with great views of chef demonstrations.
Stocked with All-Clad cookware, Wüsthof and Gunter-Wilhelm knives, and every conceivable cooking tool, gadget, and product one might require, The Culinary Loft’s kitchen makes beginners feel like masters, and masters feel at home.
