5th Avenue Kitchen
The centerpiece of our 5th Avenue Studios Stage is a wide-open, fully professional kitchen with all of the kitchen accessories required to film a realistic working kitchen shoot.
Our set offers a unique feature of four 8 ′ windows that can pour natural light into the scene, enhancing the visual quality of the shoot. These windows can also be easily blacked out if needed. The stove module is moveable to create a variety of looks. Available Green Screen panels add to the flexibility of the set. Naturally, we have installed a full lighting grid over the working kitchen area. The kitchen set has double wall ovens, a beautiful stainless steel refrigerator, a working dishwasher, a microwave oven, a large functional sink, rolling carts, and beautiful black granite countertops.
All the essential elements you would expect in a modern, professional kitchen are included. Additionally, we have available in the adjacent East Studio a fully functional prep space, a four-burner electric stove and full oven, extra burners, a working sink, a microwave, and an additional refrigerator.

The loft is not soundproof, so while it is quiet for most uses, it may not be ideal for ultra-sensitive audio recording during high-traffic hours. Crews often work around this by using sound blankets and controlled shooting windows.
