Have your part(ies) here!…read more We used EDBM to throw a party at The East Wing (Upper East Side) for my daughter's 1st birthday celebration. My wife and I were beyond pleased! They guided us along from the beginning exploratory conversations, through the booking, the food and room setup, to the execution of the event. Wow...they are awesome and they know their stuff! Everything was a smashing success. Special kudos to how they knew all of what to expect too...ie. they were spot on right down to knowing certain foods wouldn't really be eaten as much as others (yes, we went against their advice and yes, we were wrong...lol...but good news is I have tons of leftovers for lunch this week!) Other notes: East Wing is perfect for about 50 people, especially if you need tables and other things laid out in the space. Its well lit but private, their is a bathroom in the room, there are great nooks and crannies to store things (strollers, presents, etc) and the food is both delicious and portioned correctly. We did a lot of research and the way EDBM prices its party packages is by far the best, especially for the nicer ambiance and food quality. They are upfront with all their charges, and at the end of the day, you definitely get more for your money than you would at other places around town of similar size and service. Also, a special kudos to their onsite party host, Lindsay. She is a master party manager, bartender, hostess, problem solver, and generally kind-spirited person. She answered questions, made us comfortable and assisted us in every possible way. Amazing at her job! They all are - Christine, Niki and Brittany. Bravo! We would 100% recommend EDBM to any and all who seek a suggestion for where to have a party.

Okay, so I booked my brother's bachelor party with the girls of Eat Drink and be Merry and let me…read moretell you how wonderful and accommodating they were and the services they provide. I can't remember all of the names but I believe there was a Brittany, Christine and I want to say Kate. Our first part of the night we started off at the Gin Mill for dinner. I got to be honest the food was a lot better than what I thought it was going to be. Pasta, Chicken, Steak, potatoes, tator tots, all delicious. Maggie, who was I guess the host of the party was excellent along with our bartender. I cannot remember her name but she was blonde (sorry) and very on top of whatever drinks we needed. I rate everything at this place a 10 Our limo driver Steve who was flat out the man...enough said!!!!! He catered to us as best as he could and went above and beyond. I would definitely have him as a limo driver again. As Steve took us to Down the hatch, the bartenders were there ready to wait on us, and they didn't disappoint. (Maggie called ahead for us!) The one down point of the night was when we ordered wings the staff brought the wings and set them up over on a shelf by the main door. The bouncer came over and asked us to clear the doorway. I understand 100% he was doing his job, but this is where the staff put the wings. I explained to him that we will move out of the way the best we could to not block the doorway, but asked him where were we going to go to eat? I said if you can find us a table I will gladly move. This bouncer had a Dallas Cowboys hat on and, said " you want me to find you a table, not my problem. Okay guy! We left immediately! Guy was just a rude................well you get the point. I called Maggie to explain to her the situation immediately and made sure she knew that we were not out of control, not causing any problems etc.... Next up, 3 sheets saloon. Everything about this place was outstanding. We had a waitress and I can't remember her name, but she was from Australia and she just kept bringing round after round until the open bar time was up! The bouncer Ivan was pretty awesome too. He kept us entertained throughout the night. All in all, the night turned out to be a good time..and I would recommend booking as everything went smoothly with the exception of the bouncer issue, but one guy with an ego, wasn't going to ruin our night.

Todo el personal es increíblemente amable, humano y generoso, siempre dispuesto a ayudar y a brindar exactamente lo que el cliente necesita.

Quiero hacer una mención especial a Miriam, una excelente decoradora cuyo trabajo es impecable. Siempre sabe lo que uno necesita, brinda las sugerencias más apropiadas y está pendiente de cada detalle, incluso de las cosas de último minuto. Gracias a ella, el ambiente de nuestra gala fue simplemente maravilloso. Gracias por hacer posible que nuestra comunidad viva una noche tan especial por dos años seguidos.

When I think of bars on the UWS, my mind immediately goes to the stretch from 79th to 86th. So it's…read morenice to have an option further north, The Throwback is a solid sports bar near 95th. The interior is very well lit, don't expect a dark broody dive bar vibe. Sports memorabilia cover nearly every inch of every wall, lots of signed photos from athletes and actors everywhere. Very fun, upbeat vibes. There are plenty of tables available, as well as chairs at the bar. And, of course, TVs throughout, both near the bar and across the floor seating. No bad angles for watching sports here! I just came for a few beers, and enjoyed the atmosphere. Our bartender was great. If I lived in this area, I'd definitely post up at The Throwback for a low key drink and/or to watch some football.

Rather than ordering traditionally, we asked the kitchen to prepare whatever the chef felt inspired to create for us, and they exceeded every expectation. Each course felt thoughtfully curated, showcasing impeccable technique and exceptional ingredients, many beautifully sourced from Italy. Marco provided a level of hospitality that was nothing short of outstanding. His attentive, one-on-one guidance through each course, sharing the story behind each dish, from ingredients to origin, added a deeply personal and elevated touch to the evening. The intimate, charming setting only enhances the experience, allowing the cuisine and service to take center stage. Every detail felt intentional, every bite memorable. A truly luxurious and bespoke dining experience. We left thoroughly impressed and can't wait to return.

Very cozy, intimate atmosphere. The food is really really good, some of the best Italian in NYC. I love their chicken parm and order it every time. The other pasta's and entrees I've tried by picking bites off my husband's plate and those have been fantastic as well. The wine is good, limited menu but that's fine by me. We also ordered the tiramisu and it was divine! can't wait for the patio to be open to sit outside in the summer and snack and drink! Servers are really friendly, there's only one or two but they do a great job.

The chicken sliders and summer salad were a specific hit with many saying it was the best chicken sandwich they've ever had! The space is naturally beautiful and warm providing an intimate setting. They can also arrange the space however you would like and are quick to adapt to any request. I can't recommend this business enough for either catering or hosting your next event, you shouldn't even think twice!

Fantastic caterer! I have used Portable Provisions several times and love working with them. The…read morestaff & food are amazing! And Kat, the owner, is a delight, plus she is born and raised in NYC, which I think is cool. The events they have done for me have been mostly off-site... where PP has either dropped off the food or delivered to my client's office and set-up food stations and the beverage stations. They have also stayed onsite for service, food-prep, and cleaning. They all have gone out of their way to accommodate every dietary constraint, location and even my ornery clients were impressed. Now, PP has an event space that I have used for a corporate client and everyone loved it. It's welcoming and warm with a full bar...what is not to love. Finally, I cannot praise PP enough and I am not paid to write reviews...this is the real-deal.

The Sanctuary team was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish! The venue itself is…read moreabsolutely stunning, with so many beautiful spaces to use like the pier, the tented area, the cocktail patio, and the church. Having three bridal suites upstairs was such a bonus, and the parking lot made things easy for vendors coming and going. From the start, Amelia was so detail-oriented during our initial tour and allowed us unlimited site visits, which was incredibly helpful for planning. Midway through, our main contact switched to Arthur, who was amazing, so sweet, accommodating, and customer-focused. Frank was wonderful as well, even granting us three extra hours of venue access and allowing us to ship a large mirror ahead of time, which was such a huge help and greatly appreciated. On the day-of, Arthur and Kat were the main on-site coordinators and they were incredible. I did hire a third-party, day-of coordinator and I don't regret this, as it helped give me peace of mind to ensure everything stayed on track! Honestly, the entire staff went above and beyond. My guests raved about the bartenders, especially the bald gentleman everyone loved (I am sorry I didn't catch his name) and the wait staff were so attentive and kind. Guests with dietary restrictions felt especially taken care of thanks to their thoughtfulness. I didn't catch everyone's name, but I do remember one person named Rafael was soooo sweet and was very attentive. Overall, I have noticed they have excellent staff retention (many of their staff have worked there for many years). That alone makes me happy and made me feel comfortable booking them. And the food... wow. From hors d'oeuvres to the grazing board to late-night pizza, everything was delicious. I received so many compliments, which is VERY rare for wedding food! I didn't eat much that night, but The Sanctuary kindly packed us (a LOT) of steak to-go, and my wife and I devoured it at 3 a.m. It was incredible. I ate that steak for lunch the two days following our wedding! At the end of the night, one of the staff members even helped us load our personal belongings into the Lyft, which they absolutely had no obligation to do. I truly cannot recommend this venue enough. It's a hidden gem that doesn't nickel-and-dime like other places and truly values building great relationships with their couples. If you're considering The Sanctuary, I would ABSOLUTELY book it!

Our guests raved about the top notch service, excellent (and bountiful food), cocktails, and the spectacular views. To anyone looking to get married there, we had 150 guests and the space was perfect for that number. The tented dinner area was comfortably yet still intimate and the sanctuary lounge offered ample space for the dance party to end the night. Also, there is a parking lot the venue utilizes with spots for about 30 cars which was a big help! In addition to the Sanctuary's support, what helped our big day was having an outside coordinator and being very prepared ourselves.
