Wine Smackdown: New York vs. The Old World🥂 6/13/26

COOKING & BEVERAGE CLASS DISCLOSURES:

1. If you wish to sit with a party who registered separately, please note this on your ticket order. We will do our best to seat groups together (our space is limited and all requests are not guaranteed).
2. If you have a food allergy or restriction, please note this on your ticket order.
3. The minimum age to attend a class with an accompanying adult is 12 years old. For Family Cooking Classes, children as young as 8 years old may attend with an accompanying adult. Guests must be at least 18 years old to attend a class without an adult. All attendees must purchase a ticket to participate in a class. Note: Junior Chef Camps do not require adult accompaniment.
4. You must be 21+ to consume alcohol. I.D. IS REQUIRED. New York Kitchen reserves the right to ask guests who are intoxicated, behaving in an unsafe manner, or who pose a risk to leave the classroom.
5. By attending, you consent to media capture and usage by NYK for any purpose.

ADDITIONAL COOKING CLASS DISCLOSURES:

1. Closed-toe, non-slip shoes are required for your safety.
2. Each station accommodates 2 people. For this reason each station must prepare the same dish, with the exception of our Sushi Rolling classes.
3. Recipes are developed using common ingredients which may or may not be specified in the title including flour, nuts, spices, fruits, vegetables, etc.
4. To ensure the safety of all guests, we ask that class participants give their full attention to the Chef Instructor as they cover important knife skills and kitchen tips.
5. With the purchase of your ticket, you recognize that this could present potential cooking hazards including but not limited to cuts, burns, slips, falls, allergic reactions, and other injuries. I release New York Kitchen, its agents, representatives, and employees from all damages causes of action, claims, and liability that might arise from participation.

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.
• No-Show Policy: New York Kitchen will not refund for no‐shows if a guest books a class reservation and attendees do not show.
• New York Kitchen reserves the right to cancel any class that fails to attract sufficient enrollment, or due to educator illness or inclement weather. We will contact you by phone or email and issue a full refund, or you may request to be transferred to another class of your choice (depending on availability and value).
• We appreciate your support of our non-profit organization.
