New York Catering – Real Service, Real Flavor, Built for NYC Life

Key Takeaways

Planning events in New York City means working around elevator schedules, traffic delays, last-minute headcounts, and venues that range from high-rise rooftops to brownstone backyards. You don’t just need good food — you need a catering partner who understands how this city really works.

At Green Apple Catering, we provide flexible, reliable service to clients throughout New York — including all five boroughs. From wedding receptions to boardroom lunches, nonprofit galas to family celebrations, we’ve catered it all. We’re proud to be a local team that shows up early, adapts quickly, and delivers food people actually love eating.

Corporate Catering Across NYC’s Offices and Institutions

New York is a city full of meetings, fundraisers, team lunches, and milestone events — and each one calls for a different kind of catering. We serve startups in SoHo, hospitals in the Bronx, nonprofits in Queens, and everything in between.

For some events, you need a simple drop-off with fresh trays and no setup. For others, you need servers, rentals, and tight scheduling across multiple floors. That’s why our corporate catering services are built to be as flexible as your workday.

Whether you’re planning a donor breakfast, a training lunch, or an executive holiday event, we’ll help you build a plan that makes the food feel effortless.

Weddings in NYC Deserve Flexible Catering

Weddings in New York take all shapes and sizes — and usually happen in spaces that need a little creativity. We’ve served weddings in parks, rooftops, churches, restaurants, galleries, and even private homes. Some events need full-service staffing and rentals. Others need great food delivered hot and on time. We offer both.

Our team works with couples across the city to plan menus, service flow, and timing — all while keeping things relaxed and stress-free. Whether you’re hosting 25 guests or 200, we’ll help you create a wedding that reflects your style and keeps your guests happy.

We’re also comfortable adapting menus based on your culture, your traditions, or your preferences — from passed appetizers and buffet spreads to plated meals and brunch receptions.

Menu Formats for Any NYC Event

Not every event in New York requires a full-service plated dinner. Sometimes you just need good food delivered on time. Other times, you want something interactive or customized for your audience. That’s why we offer catering formats that work for every kind of event — large or small, formal or casual.

If you’re looking for an efficient, no-fuss option, our Drop-Off Platters are a favorite among companies and families alike. Hot trays, cold platters, salads, and desserts — all clearly labeled and ready to serve.

Need something more individually packaged? Our Lunch Box Catering is perfect for meetings, field staff, or socially distanced events.

Planning something seasonal? Our rotating Seasonal Catering Menus are a great way to match your menu with the time of year — light fare in the summer, hearty comfort food in winter, and themed dishes around the holidays.

Cocktail hours, gallery openings, rooftop events, and receptions also benefit from lighter, social menus. Our Passed Hors d’Oeuvres bring elegance and energy to any event format without requiring formal seating or long meal times.

Setup, Staffing, and Rentals

We don’t just drop off food and disappear. If your event needs a full-service setup, our team brings everything required — from experienced servers and bartenders to all the equipment that turns a raw space into a functioning event.

Our Party Equipment Rentals include tables, buffet setups, beverage displays, linens, and heating equipment. Perfect for weddings, holiday parties, or venues with limited infrastructure.

Want to do something memorable? We’ve helped clients build out interactive stations, cultural menus, and fun formats for birthdays, anniversaries, and nonprofit galas. Our Themed Catering Events are creative, practical, and easy to plan.
