Creative Café: Food & Writing

Food is a fact of life, part of our personal cultures and identities, and amongst our most intimate concerns. For writers it is also a vast resource and lifetime supply of evocative literature. In two half-day sessions of readings, exercises, discussion, and critiques, you will discover inspiring ways to write about food, expand your creative horizons, and publish your work. Genres covered include fiction, memoir, essay, and poetry. Course is appropriate for all writing levels, from fresh beginner to fine-aged pro.

The Winter 2026 in person section of this class will also include a field trip to the nearby Grand Central Market.
