"Introduction to Photography at PhotoManhattan
Become one with your SLR, spending each session learning about lens types, lighting or shutter speeds. “You’ll finish the course being able to look at a photograph and really critique it and understand why it works, why it doesn’t,” says studio assistant April McMillan. You won’t be the only one judging—homework is assigned and reviewed. Head to the wait list for spring courses, or sign up now for summer. 51 W 14th St, #2R between 5th and 6th Aves (212-929-3302, photomanhattan.com). May 8–Jun 12, $305 for five classes

Basic Camera Course at NYC Photography Workshops
Learn about f-stops, blurring, panning, shutter speeds, light meters and more than you knew your hunk of plastic could do. “We get people who want to get a nice camera, but it’s an extremely confusing piece of equipment,” says teacher Jeffrey Apoian. “In this class we strip the camera down to its most basic form and build on the options.” 66 Crosby St near Spring St (212-431-5513, nycphotoworkshop.com). May 15 10am–6pm, $350.
Black and White Photography: From Darkroom to Lightroom at School of Visual Arts
At SVA, you can’t call yourself a pro until you can fumble through an old-school darkroom as well as you fiddle with a computer. “Usually you take a class in either one or the other technique; this is a unique chance to learn both,” says assistant director John Wyszniewski. Using a darkroom, scanning negatives, downloading images, digital tools and camera basics will all be covered. 214 E 21st St between Second and Third Aves (212-592-2050, schoolofvisualarts.edu). Mon 6-9:30pm, starts June 7; $420 for eight classes

Introduction to Digital SLR Photography at Nikon School
Miss the mass education experience of a college lecture? Photography teachers take to the lectern in courses sponsored by the camera company, which cover the basics in metering and exposure. The hotel ballroom location feels corporate, but the instruction is straightforward, and a higher-level class follows the next day. Hotel Pennsylvania, 401 7th Ave between Sixth and Seventh Aves, (212-736-5000; nikonusa.com). Jun 12 9:30am-4:30pm, $119

Envisioning the Print at the Exhibition Lab
“Whether you print traditionally or digitally, all the present-day options will be discussed,” says co-owner Michael Foley, who also covers history from daguerreotypes to digital printing. Class participants receive a 40 percent discount on printing services at Gotham Imaging. 548 W 28th St between Tenth and Eleventh Aves, second floor (212-244-9081, theexhibitionlab.com). Sat 10am-5pm, June 19, $150

If you love to try different kinds of food, the Food Walking Tours are a great way to get into the gastronomic universe!

Check the different Tours below and "Bon Appétit!!!"

"ASTORIA, QUEENS, WALKABOUT
Although the tour is billed as “Around the World in 80 Minutes,” its creator, Susan Birnbaum, doesn’t like to be a stickler for the clock when visiting Greek, Italian, Colombian, Egyptian, and Lebanese restaurants and shops along 30th Avenue. “I just couldn’t resist the pun!” she says. The eight-stop trip is popular with adventurous tourists and locals who don’t know that Astoria offers more than Greek treats. SusanSez NYC Walkabouts, meet at 30th Ave at 31st St, Astoria, Queens (917-509-3111, dbsystemsgroup.com/susansez). Apr 24 at 11am, $40. 

BOWERLY LANE CHOCOLATE TOUR
The sugar high that comes from visiting five haute chocolate spots along the Bowery is significant, but this two-hour walking tour is meant to work it off along the way. Taste confections flavored with chili, paprika, ginger, wasabi, tequila, Cuban rum and even absinthe. New Chocolate Tours, meet at 63 E 4th St between Bowery and Second Ave (917-292-0680, sweetwalks.com). Thu–Sun 3:30pm, $50 in advance.

CHINATOWN, BROOKLYN
Liz Young’s four-hour marathon tour treks through Brooklyn to explore a lesser-known culinary enclave straddling Sunset Park and Bay Ridge. The Chinese food is mostly Cantonese, notable for what Young calls “refined, delicate flavors.” The tour starts with Hong Kong–style dim sum, with curious eaters noshing on dumplings, Chinese tarts and stuffed buns, rice porridge, bubble tea, scallion pancakes and, for the truly adventurous, chicken feet or fin soup. Liz Young Culinary Tours (646-286-8065, lizyoungtours.com). Mon–Fri 10am–2pm; Sat, Sun 9am–1pm, or by request. $125.
 
A TASTE OF HELL
On this seven-stop, three-hour tour through Hell’s Kitchen, expect a midtown melting pot of eats, including empanadas, milk shakes, secret-spot chorizo tacos, pork buns, biscotti and apple pie. Bonus: On cold days, local tour guide Moira Campbell swings by the little-known 414 Hotel, a bed-and-breakfast where you can rest your legs by a cozy fireplace. Rum & Blackbird Tasting Tours (212-209-3370, rumandblackbird.com). Sat, Sun 1:30am–2:30pm, 3–6pm; $49.

TASTE OF HARLEM TOUR
“I feel sometimes like I’m Mr. U.N.,” says tour leader Neal Shoemaker, who guides school kids and tourists through Harlem. “I mean, Kentucky kids eating authentic African food? It’s so cool! They’re not going to get that in Louisville.” The mix of African, African-American, Spanish and Jamaican edibles won’t merely fill the stomach, he promises; they’ll help illustrate Harlem’s diverse culture as well. Harlem Heritage Tours, meet at 104 Malcolm X Blvd (Lenox Ave) between 115th and 116th Sts (212-280-7888, harlemheritage.com). Sat 10, Apr 24 12–3pm, $39.—Amy Zavatto"
