Where Can I Rent a Kitchen in NYC?

Chef’s Dinner Table

“I need a kitchen.”
“Can you just rent a kitchen in New York City?”
“Where can I find a kitchen?”
“I need a space for a dinner with a kitchen.”
“I’m reaching out to you because (insert name) said you’d be the person to ask about finding a kitchen in New York City.”

When people keep asking me the same question over and over my solution is to write a blog post.

Here’s a list of kitchens you can rent in New York city which you can rent to:

cook (incubator) to create your own product short or long term
cook for a catered event that is held elsewhere
hold cooking classes
do photo/video shoots
host small events

F.A.Q.
Is the list exhaustive? No. This is a flexible city. Things are constantly changing.

Why isn’t (insert name) included? This is flexible post. I’m happy to add places to it as I hear of them. Shoot me an email.

Why do some of the places have more information than others? This is New York City. Small business owners are very busy, some got back to me and others didn’t.
