Selfup runs hands-on cooking classes in its own kitchen and dining room. It's on the 6th floor of 286 Fifth Avenue in NoMad, near Madison Square Park. It has been open since 2018 and has sister locations in Boston and Washington DC. Public classes last three hours and end with everyone sitting down to eat what they cooked.
The public lineup is short and easy to approach. Chef Oliver Holecek teaches Italian Dinner with Tiramisu Finale. Chef Alexandra Borgia leads the Sushi Workshop for Home Chefs and Romantic Italian Date Night. Chef RoyalTee teaches French Countryside Dinner and Homemade Dumplings 101. Each class costs $120 per person with ingredients included. You don't need any experience, and several classes are aimed at couples.
Much of Selfup's business is private and corporate. Groups of 8 to 70 get the kitchen to themselves. They pick a menu such as pizza, sushi or Mexican tacos, or book the Mystery Basket Team Clash competition. Google reviewers give it 4.8 from 257 reviews. You can't bring your own drinks.

It's hands-on. Classes are interactive, and the chefs add practical demonstrations as you go.
Public classes are $120 per person all-in. That covers a 3-hour session, hands-on instruction, all ingredients and equipment, and the meal you cook.
No. Outside beverages are not permitted.
Add any dietary restrictions in the 'Special requests' section when you book. Team-building classes are nut-free by default.
Corporate and group cooking events take 8 to 70 people, and your group has the kitchen studio to itself.
