Students in the culinary arts program at Roosevelt High School in the Roosevelt School District recently took learning beyond the classroom with an immersive trip to the Museum of Food and Drink in DUMBO, Brooklyn, located within the vibrant Time Out Market.

During the visit, students explored the rich history of food, gained insight into culinary traditions from around the world and experienced a variety of flavors that highlighted cultural diversity and innovation in the culinary arts. The trip provided a unique opportunity for hands-on learning, allowing students to connect classroom lessons with real-world experiences in a dynamic setting.
