Location, Location, Location
Our location is among the many reasons to consider the Natural Gourmet
Institute (NGI). Studying in New York City means exposure to the most
diverse food culture in the world. A multitude of ethnicities are
reflected in the staggering variety of restaurants and specialty food
shops throughout the five boroughs. Living here means being a part
of the excitement of a city that’s famous for setting food trends;
where health-consciousness thrives in a stimulating urban environment.
The rich culinary heritage of New York provides the perfect complement
to our Chef’s Training Program.
Approximately two-thirds of our students come from outside the New
York-Metropolitan area. Our admissions department can assist you with
suggestions for short-term housing.
