Experience the Art of Culinary Excellence at Great Performances during OHNY Weekend! With a rich history rooted in the arts, Great Performances has become the trusted culinary partner for New York’s most prestigious cultural institutions, including The Plaza Hotel, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Academy of Music, and Apollo Theater.
On this behind-the-scenes your, visitors are invited to explore the inner workings of Great Performances' operation. Follow the journey of ingredients from the moment they arrive at the loading dock, through various stages of preparation in the walk-in refrigerators, cold kitchens, hot kitchens, and blast chillers, before they are packed and sent out to create unforgettable dining experiences. The tour will also visit the renowned pastry kitchen, the Sylvia Center, where children learn about healthy eating, and the Design Warehouse—a veritable cave of wonders filled with everything needed to transform any event into a spectacular celebration.
Visitors should wear closed-toe shoes.
Children 12+ welcome. Every person attending, including children, requires a ticket.
