Drop Off Platters Menu

In a city known for its energy, taste, and expectations, drop-off catering is often seen as the convenient cousin of full-service events. But at Green Apple Catering and Events, we’ve redefined what “drop-off” can mean. We bring curated, restaurant-level platters to your boardroom, brownstone, or rooftop—with the same finesse and culinary precision you’d expect at a plated dinner service. This isn’t about convenience alone. It’s about sophistication that arrives on time.

Why Choose Our Drop-Off Platters for Your NYC Event

Whether you’re hosting a team lunch, welcoming out-of-town clients, or celebrating a milestone at home, the details matter. Our drop-off platters are designed to impress not just through taste, but through presentation, quality, and personalization. Each menu is created with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients—carefully plated and delivered in elegant packaging that makes setup seamless and beautiful.

As a boutique catering and event planning company based in the heart of Manhattan, we know what our New York clients expect: flavor-forward food, impeccable timing, and zero guesswork. Our menus are curated by chefs, our logistics are handled by event professionals, and our service reflects the high-touch standard of everything we do. This is the drop-off experience, elevated.

For our corporate clients, we provide culinary experiences that match the tone and purpose of your event—plated aesthetics, dietary-conscious dishes, and seamless service logistics.

We work closely with clients to create menus that reflect personal style, guest preferences, and even the visual theme of your gathering. Every platter is assembled with the same care as a seated dinner, down to the last garnish.

A Look Into Our Drop-Off Platters Menu

Our seasonal selections offer a well-balanced approach to taste and texture, bringing together a mix of comforting classics and chef-driven modern bites. Whether you’re feeding ten guests or fifty, our menu is curated to scale—without ever losing its finesse.

Clients can start by exploring our build-your-own lunch buffet NYC option, perfect for mixing hot entrees, sides, and fresh salads into a unified, yet flexible offering. This option works especially well for diverse teams or events where dietary inclusivity is key.

Our gourmet sandwich platters are a client favorite. Composed with house-made spreads, artisan breads, and premium proteins, these sandwiches look as good as they taste. See our full array of gourmet sandwich platters NYC to discover signature combinations and vegetarian alternatives.

Salads are more than a side—they can be the star. With our create-your-own salad catering, clients have control over greens, grains, toppings, and dressings, making it easy to accommodate vegans, gluten-free diets, and everything in between.

The Extras That Elevate: Sides, Sweets & Beverages

Presentation and palate aren’t reserved for entrees alone. Our dessert platters are a curated mix of classics and contemporary bites. Whether you’re craving seasonal fruit tarts, flourless chocolate bites, or vegan cookies, our dessert catering menu NYC delivers a refined sweet finish to any spread.

Of course, no menu is complete without the right beverages. From cold-pressed juices to gourmet sodas and infused waters, we offer a full spectrum of curated beverage catering options to round out the experience. Each drink selection is designed to complement your menu and elevate the overall presentation.

Our platters are about more than food—they’re an extension of your taste, your brand, and your event’s tone. Whether it’s the precision of knife-cut crudité or the artisan charcuterie board styled with NYC flair, the details are what set us apart.

Dietary-Inclusive Drop-Off Options

Today’s New York events call for inclusivity and customization. We meet that need head-on with thoughtfully prepared dishes that accommodate gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and kosher-style preferences—all without sacrificing presentation or flavor. From individually portioned plates to beautifully grouped platters, every dish is labeled and safely prepared to meet strict dietary guidelines.

Explore our individual entrée catering options for single-serving elegance that fits seamlessly into any drop-off event plan. These are ideal for professional settings where dietary needs vary across the guest list and personal packaging is preferred.

This inclusive approach is one of the reasons our clients return again and again. We ensure no guest feels like an afterthought—because every plate we serve is a reflection of our brand and yours.

Perfect for Offices and On-the-Go Clients

New York moves fast, and so do the people who live and work here. That’s why our drop-off platters include smart, transportable solutions for offices and mobile teams. Whether it’s a lunch-and-learn, an offsite strategy day, or just a no-fuss team lunch that needs to feel more thoughtful, our lunch platters bring flavor and freshness without the need for full-service catering.

Our lunch box catering for offices makes upscale meals portable, organized, and easy to distribute, even across large teams. Each box is designed with presentation in mind, making even a quick midday break feel curated. Inside, you’ll find balanced meals—protein-forward mains, seasonal sides, and optional sweets—tailored to fit dietary needs and time constraints.

For multi-day meetings or rotating teams, we offer rotating drop-off menus that keep things fresh, seasonal, and memorable without repetition. Our team is available to help plan out the flow, presentation, and flavor arc of your weeklong catering needs.

There’s a moment when a platter becomes a conversation piece—when presentation, theme, and taste come together to create something unforgettable. That’s where our special menus shine. These aren’t your average drop-off offerings; they’re full expressions of event vision, whether you’re planning an editorial lunch or a holiday gathering in your office’s lounge space.

Our special buffet packages are curated to elevate your spread with distinctive cuisine styles and upscale combinations. From Mediterranean grazing stations to Manhattan brunch spreads, these offerings bring a layer of storytelling and sophistication to your event—even when service is limited to delivery and setup.
