They canceled on me 2 days before the class

They canceled on me at the very last minute, even though I had booked months in advance. It shows a clear lack of commitment to customer service, and it’s disappointing that they promote classes they end up canceling last minute.

Fun and different large group fun event

I booked a large group for the bagel making class in midtown. It was a very unique experience! Our team had a blast, we learned a lot about the history of bagels, and got to take a bunch of our own creations home. It was a great value, I highly recommend it!

Ate my bagels for breakfast

My husband loves to cook and bake so this was perfect. We made enough bagels to take home 12 with us. I had two for breakfast and they were awesome. Sam loves what he does and it shows. The time went by fast. My bagels were delicious. The history of bagels was even very interesting. You get to actually roll and form the bagels, then get to boil them before you coat them in your choice of various seeds or seasoning. Then they get baked. Before you leave with your fresh bagels, Sam and Reva cook up the odd extra bagels to serve us with various spreads and of course lox. If you are thinking of doing this, I suggest do it. You won't be disappointed.

A must do!

What a unique experience to roll, boil, season and bake your own bagels! It was such a blast. The staff was super friendly and we learned a lot too! Then….we got to eat them! Delicious! Everyone left with their creations to take home. It was a truly fun and entertaining time!

Fun and tasty bagel making class!

The New York bagel making workshop was really fun and informative. It was especially interesting to be able to make bagels in an actual working bagel bakery, using the same equipment that professionals use like the giant boiling pot, bagel boards and the bagel oven. We really enjoyed the history lesson too from Jason, getting a sneak peek into the giant fridge holding racks of thousands of bagels and watching professional bagel-maker Reva deftly roll perfectly shaped bagels. The bagel feast was delicious and it was fun to sample different bagel toppings and spreads like blueberry and scallion. Drinks provided. Would definitely recommend the workshop to all bagel fans!

NYC: Bagel Baking Class with Award-Winning Baker (Midtown): questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.

How much does NYC: Bagel Baking Class with Award-Winning Baker (Midtown) cost?

+

Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does NYC: Bagel Baking Class with Award-Winning Baker (Midtown) take?

+

Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.

Is NYC: Bagel Baking Class with Award-Winning Baker (Midtown) worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule NYC: Bagel Baking Class with Award-Winning Baker (Midtown)?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is NYC: Bagel Baking Class with Award-Winning Baker (Midtown) suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book NYC: Bagel Baking Class with Award-Winning Baker (Midtown)?

+

Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does NYC: Bagel Baking Class with Award-Winning Baker (Midtown) start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in New York?

+

New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit New York?

+

September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in New York?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
