The Egg

Very cool experience! The lunch menu changes daily it seems but there was a lot of variety and menus that looked straight from a high end NYC kitchen! They had miso glazed pork charsiu ramen, rotisserie chicken, and brick oven Italian pizza when we visited. The chicken was so delicious - very soft and tender - honestly one of the best grilled chicken I’ve had! The cafeteria has a great view of the Hudson River too.

The Egg at the Culinary Institute of America is a highlight of this Thanksgiving holiday break. The campus itself is breathtaking, and knowing this is where Anthony Bourdain graduated makes the experience feel bittersweet in a meaningful way! Sara Moulton and Rocco DiSpirito are both alums as well, reinforcing how much talent has come through these halls. The student chefs are impressive, and their dishes show it. I had a tofu Ropa Vieja and it was excellent. The peanut butter and jelly danish was also delicious, even though my photo caught it after a bite. It’s a great spot for a quick meal, and I’m excited to try the other dining options in the future!! Everyone should visit CIA!!!

I was visiting my family friends and they introduced me to this place right on the campus of the Culinary Institute of America! It's got a great view of the Hudson River as you eat! Great food and please give the students the love and support! If you're in the area, I recommend you stop by for any meal!

The students working there are dedicated to providing the utmost service and taste. They serve all halal beef and chicken. The head chef also made sure that the food was allergy free. We were very happy with the quality, taste, and service. Thanks for the epic meal! We ordered the special beef burger with eggs, which was delicious! We will come here again. 😋

Good multicultural cafeteria food at very reasonable prices. The cafeteria itself is very comfortable and it has amazing views of the campus and the Hudson.
