Join BagelUp for a hands-on session to master the art of making New York bagels. Led by award-winning instructors, you’ll indulge in freshly baked bagels and delicious spreads, sip on beverages, and learn about the bagel’s unlikely journey to becoming an iconic New York food. Depart with at least 6 of your own bagels, plus access to our online course to recreate the magic at home. While your bagels bake, you’ll go behind-the-scenes to learn all about the ingredients (is it the water?!) and the process that makes New York bagels unique.

Our class will be led by Award Winning Baker, Reva Castillenti and Founder of BagelUP, CEO Sam Silverman known as NY’s Bagel Ambassador. We’ll learn how to Roll, Boil, Seed, and Bake our bagels along with the History of the Bagel and its origins from Poland to NY. Ultimately you’ll get to enjoy them with Appetizing donated from Dame Blake Leonard of Stew Leonard’s. You’ll even get to take home bagels! Proceeds benefit LDNY’s Scholarship Fund. Ticket price does not include processing fees. All ticket sales final (no refunds).

Program Chair: Dame Francine Kowalsky

About Your Instructors

Reva Castillenti started her career as a sculptor, but eventually found her true passion in the art of bread-baking. She spent years perfecting her craft, sourcing native and heritage flours for her baguettes and bagels, and teaching others the art of bread-making. Reva's bagels won second place at the World Bread Awards in both 2018 and 2019, and her expertise has been sought after by home bakers and professionals alike.

Sam Silverman is the brains behind NYC Bagel Tours. Since 2017, he's delved deep into the bagel world, earning him the title of New York's "Bagel Ambassador." Recognized as one of Brooklyn’s 50 Most Fascinating People by Brooklyn Magazine in 2023 for his flagship event, the New York BagelFest, his bagel knowledge is unparalleled. Sam’s favorite bagel? An everything bagel with scallion cream cheese - not toasted, of course.
