Thanksgiving Catering Menu NYC: A Thoughtful Feast Without the Fuss

Thanksgiving in New York City can be many things—grateful, festive, chaotic. But what it shouldn’t be is stressful. That’s why Green Apple Catering and Events created a Thanksgiving catering menu NYC that brings together traditional comfort, clean seasonal cooking, and the ease of fully prepared service—no oven required.

Whether you're hosting a family gathering in your apartment or coordinating a company-wide lunch before the long weekend, we help you serve a meal that feels homemade, without the 4 a.m. wake-up call. Our menus are crafted around warmth, balance, and inclusion—offering options that honor the holiday while respecting modern dietary needs.

Elevated Comfort, Rooted in Tradition

Thanksgiving meals are about more than just food—they’re about nostalgia, ritual, and connection. At Green Apple, we’ve reimagined the classic holiday table with an approach that’s a little cleaner, a little lighter, but just as satisfying. You’ll still find golden-roasted proteins, root vegetables kissed with maple, and desserts that speak in cinnamon and clove. But you’ll also see dairy-free sides, gluten-free stuffing, and roasted squash entrees that center plant-based guests.

Our food is styled with the season in mind—warm tones, fresh herbs, compostable trays that look as good on your table as they are for the planet. It’s the same thoughtfulness we bring to every celebration, like the fresh-forward spreads on our Easter Sunday catering menu NYC, where modern simplicity meets timeless tradition.

For Family Tables, Office Buffets, and Seasonal Gatherings

Thanksgiving happens in many places—and we’re ready for all of them. Hosting extended family in a brownstone? We’ll deliver trays that serve beautifully, with everything labeled and ready to heat. Planning a company-wide “Friendsgiving”? We offer fully boxed individual meals, timed delivery, and set-up support for in-office celebrations of all sizes.

Our menu formats are flexible, and our team is trained to support nonprofit or interfaith gatherings with care and clarity. That adaptability echoes the spirit of our Passover catering menu NYC, where faith, flavor, and food sensitivity come together in harmony.

Inclusive, Seasonal Meals for Every Guest

Thanksgiving is a table where everyone should feel welcome. That’s why we design our menu with plant-based guests, gluten-sensitive diners, and those avoiding dairy or nuts in mind. These aren’t second-tier dishes—they’re vibrant, balanced, and built to stand beside the classics.

A guest favorite is our stuffed acorn squash: filled with quinoa, roasted vegetables, and a hint of maple, it brings both substance and seasonal color. We also offer roasted brussels sprouts, herb-dressed kale salads, and mashed root vegetables without butter or cream—so every plate feels generous, no matter the dietary path.

This same philosophy guides our St. Patrick’s Day catering menu NYC, where inclusive dining takes the spotlight across cultural holidays.

Easy Ordering, Generous Presentation

Planning a Thanksgiving event can feel overwhelming. Our process is built to take that off your plate—literally. You can select from pre-designed holiday bundles (main, sides, dessert) or work with our team to customize your spread. Whether you’re feeding a team of 30 or a family of 6, we’ll portion, label, and time your delivery for a seamless service.

All packaging is compostable or reusable. You can opt for trays, boxed meals, or plated options depending on your format. Many of our larger clients appreciate the clarity and consistency we bring to seasonal orders like those found in our Good Friday catering menu NYC, where balance, calm, and quality are baked into every step.

Finish with Light, Seasonal Sweets

No Thanksgiving is complete without dessert—but that doesn’t have to mean sugar overload. We offer naturally sweetened crumbles, vegan pumpkin mousse, and fruit-forward treats that end the meal with warmth and intention. Add in a cider station or herbal mocktail bar for a festive touch that brings people together without excess.

For those seeking inspiration for dessert tables, stations, or beverage pairings, you’ll find adaptable setups in our Christmas catering menu, where celebration meets function in every bite and sip.
