State of the Art Culinary Institute

MidCity helps transform former Rainbow Mall into culinary institute

The Niagara Falls Culinary Institute is like a five-star restaurant...where every course matters. A place where furniture and function matter almost as much as food.

The Culinary Institute, which opened in fall 2012, needed instructional space to accommodate up to 1,000 students in NCCC's culinary arts, hospitality management and tourism/event management programs. The institute also involves a number of features to advance its educational mission and contribute to "place‐making" along Old Falls Street, such as ground floor student‐operated restaurant and pastry deli facilities, a college bookstore, and a "Niagara Wine Trail" shop.
