A corporate event is never complete without a full array of catered goodies to keep the team energized for the day! From our platters of breakfast pastries and assorted seasonal fruit - to a lunchtime buffet of satisfying salads, entrees, and sides - our catering team ensured that all bases were covered for this midtown Manhattan multi-day meeting!

We were thrilled to be a part of an exciting New York City event at the 201 Mulberry event space last week where guests voted on a new potential M&M flavor. We created three thematic cocktails along with tasty hors d'oeuvres. With production by Table of Contents Agency and rentals by Broadway Party Rentals - the look and feel of the event was as sweet as the M&Ms themselves!

Many events require #linen of some sort for both functionality and aesthetics. Whether it's for cocktail tables at an Upper East Side #NYC reception, a buffet at a Midtown corporate event, or table service at a Long Island City #wedding, linens are usually a must for any occasion. Check out our Linen Cheat Sheet here for a quick sizing reference when planning your next event!

Dress Up or Dress Down at an Event?

May 1, 2017

Depending on the type of event, you may want your bar and waitstaff to dress up or dress down in order to match the aesthetics. Sometimes it may be formal and call for black-on-black attire with a tie - or dressed down and casual with a colored tie or branded t-shirt.

Below are a few of our favorite looks and resources for some looks that are alternatives to the standard catering attire...

Formal Place Setting Essentials for a Catered Event

Posted on April 11, 2017 at 12:12 PM

The arrangement for a place setting can vary widely, based on time of day, type of cuisine, type of event, and many more. This diagram highlights some of the essentials for our daytime setting.

With fine dining, the china and place setting can be a little confusing. Mint Catering  NYC is here to walk you through the process! When it comes to the flatware, you want to work from the outside in. For a 2-course meal the first-course fork and knife are on the outside, and the main-course fork and knife are on the inside. When having a 3-course meal a dessert fork and spoon will appear vertically on the top of the plate. When it comes to glasses, a diamond is typically formed above the knives with the smallest glass (white wine glass) in the front, red glass on the right, the largest glass (water glass) on the left - if there is a toast - you will have a flute glass in the back center forming the diamond. For plates, there will be a show plate "charger" on the bottom which will never be removed. Each course will be presented and removed on top of this plate.

For all of your New York City celebratory moments - catered weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, fundraisers, and more - we look forward to being there for all of your event catering needs!

How To Personalize Your Catered Event 

 All events can be branded - corporate, personal - and everything in between! From monogramed matchbooks, to illuminated graphics on venue walls, to napkins with logos, putting your name or mark throughout the venue is a fantastic way to really make the look your own. One of our favorite ways to accomplish this goal is with personalized platters for our catering clients. Check out our list below for a few of our faves...

For the catered corporate event at the Duggal Greenhouse in the Brooklyn Navy Yards, we printed our client's logo and added a gelatin surface on top.  Black Bean Sliders Multi-Grain Bun And who can ever resist this one?...

Lobster Roll Mini Fresh Maine Lobster, Creme Fraîche Dressing, Housemade Brioche Served at the Marquette Basketball event at the exclusive Michael Jordan's Terminal 23, with their logo front and center on our customized passing trays.

A Bountiful Buffet at NYC Fundraiser

Posted on March 03, 2017 at 17:41 PM

All of us here at Mint Catering were thrilled that we were chosen to cater an exciting fundraiser to benefit the Jericho Project The event was the Celebrate! Charity & Casino Night at 404 NYC on Tenth Avenue in Manhattan. A key focus for the event was the Walton House, Jericho’s eighth and largest supportive housing residence in New York, which will provide the stability of housing and comprehensive services to veterans and young adults.

On the menu was a Mediterranean Station, complete with Falafel, Hummus, Moroccan Lamb Cigars, along with all the tasty accompaniments. Our Carving Station chefs served up hearty steak and potatoes, featuring Filet Mignon and Flank Steak, Mushroom Demi-Glacé, Roasted Baby Potatoes, and Steamed Broccoli Rabe.

And what event can be complete without a sweets station to top off the evening? Our bite-sized desserts included the irresistible carrot cake, mixed berry tartlets, and chocolate creme brulee tartlets. Cheers to the Jericho Project event - and thanks again for asking us to be a part of it!
