Up the ante at your on-site lunch or annual office barbecue with these tantalizing corporate catering options in the metropolitan area — because lackluster buns with a squirt of mayo and week-old lettuce won’t exactly raise morale. More than just breakfast The Granola Bar ’s flagship opened in Westport, Conn., in 2013, and given the company’s moniker, it’s no surprise these folks excel at breakfast fare, but the all-day catering menu has plenty of superb entrees, too, including the steak sandwich and Caesar salad.
Bonus: very generous portions. Since launching catering in NYC in January, Dana Noorily, founder and co-CEO, shared that the company has built partnerships with several law and financial firms and has catered events for the New York Junior League, Nordstrom and Esquire, among others. “Our clients appreciate our all-day capabilities because finding one solution for [all three meals] is rare,” Noorily said.
Eclectic mix You know and love Breads Bakery for the babka, but expand your taste horizons next time your boss asks you what to order for the pod huddle. For breakfast, spring for the premium option, which includes Swiss müesli granola and yogurt cups, assorted mini quiches, mini scrambled egg sandwiches, a bread basket with hummus, tzatziki and labne spreads and coffee kit. Lunch (shown above) gets you mini sandwiches, Israeli salad cups, crudités, assorted mini bureka and that famed chocolate babka, pre-sliced.
Upscale delights Picture this: You.
