Reader requests: Looking for an East Village caterer

An EVG reader asked if we had any recommendations for an East Village-based caterer to provide appetizers-hors d'oeuvres for an event... Well, we have no idea. Any readers with a recommendation?

The event is for 50-75 people later this fall... "Normal finger food. Party food kind of stuff," said the reader. So, nothing artisanal-farm-to-tablish featuring bone marrow stuffed with crushed, dehydrated black beans drizzled with sweet and tangy passionfruit sauce.

Uh, anyway. Any catering help?

  5. We've done things like this before at TSB. Mini bagels , platters of cold cuts, cream cheese samplers and lox. Obviously works better in the AM though. We have worked with Schimmel before as well.

  10. Funny, speaking about catering, I remember reading that even at the so called blue blood, high end affairs, the most popular item was pigs in a blanket.

    If you've already settled on a provider for your food, but need someone highly experienced to advise, set-up, present, maintain, and clean up - that'd be me. Decades long EV resident, and decades of experience working for local and other catering companies, I am available to work your events of any size & description, anytime year round. and I keep a small staff of excellent cater/waiters & bartenders. Also, I can supply the food from reliable established kitchens.
