CANCELLATION POLICY:

  • Class ticket purchases are non-refundable, and cannot be transferred to a different class for any reason. This is because New York Kitchen is a nonprofit organization that wants to ensure our educators are properly compensated for their time and plans for classes based on the number of participants registered. If you’d like to offer your seat in that class to a friend or family member, we’d be happy to welcome them. Patrons should use the original purchaser’s name upon arrival at check-in.
