Going to School in New York City
The "Big Apple" some say is the greatest city in the world. From my experience, it is the greatest city I've ever experience but then again I haven't been in them all. I lived and worked in NYC for 20 plus years and I can honestly say it is truly a great place to go to school, live & work.
The Katharine Gibbs School is in the heart of the city right across the street from Bryant Park, a great place to hang out before, after and in between classes. With an Open Air Library, the Bryant Park has a large eclectic collection of books, periodicals and newspapers for your reading enjoyment.
And being in Midtown Manhattan just one block from Times Square offers you just about everything you could ever want to experience culturally, culinary, educationally. Having lived there for as long as I did I can only tell you be prepared to have your senses stimulated.
What Do You Need To Know to Get Into Culinary School?
As the Reluctant Gourmet, I have never been to cooking school, but I keep telling myself it's never too late. The best way for you to learn more about becoming a chef is to visit my new Culinary School Resource Center. Here you will find articles, books, school resources and many other useful resources.
Also, try reading as much as you can about going to cooking school and what it is like to be a professional chef. One book I highly recommend to anyone thinking about culinary school is, The Making of A Chef, by Michael Ruhlman. It will really help you understand what you may be getting yourself into.
