I use them exclusively for lunch meetings at work - I can call them up a few days in advance or even the morning of, place the order and they'll make sure it's delivered within a 15 minute window of your desired time. The food comes beautifully plated with fresh flowers/greens for garnish. All of their serving trays are recyclable and their plates, napkins & serving utensils are all made from recycled material to be a "greener" company. All the food is packaged up in a single box with various layers to protect from smashing the platters. Their menu is DELICIOUS...literally I have not had a salad, sandwich, or dessert I haven't loved. We usually get the Premier Lunch which is a platter of assorted sandwiches, two different salads (usually a green salad and a pasta salad of sorts), a sliced fruit platter and a dessert platter for about $16 per person. There is always plenty of food too! I've never had the opportunity to use them for larger catered events, but I could if I would!!

[4/29/2012] - moving this review to S&B's catering business (vs the cafe):…read more I cannot begin to say enough good things about Sips and Bites. Not only is their sandwich shop adorable and full of delicious things. But they also catered my wedding. First and foremost, the food was delicious. Everything was fresh and served at good temperature. Dozens of our guests raved, and everything I got a chance to taste was exactly what we wanted. We did a wine/beer cocktail hour with passed and stationed hors d'oeurves, and a buffet dinner. Hors d'oeurves included two kinds of crostini (goat cheese/fig/pistachios/honey, and fava bean/prosciutto/pecorino), an artichoke dip, mini lobster rolls, and okra corn fritters with garlic buttermilk dip (which we barely got, as everyone ate them all). So delicious. For the buffet we did a salad, four veggies, and two entrees. Salad was a spinach salad with strawberries, feta, and pecans. Vegetables included cabbage and beet buttermilk slaw, sweet corn pudding, pimento cheese potato gratin, and skillet green beans with shallots. Mains were skirt steak with parsley sauce and pork tenderloin with Madeira and fig gravy. The skirt steak was by far the best, that and the corn pudding. So, so, so delicious. And beyond that, for the business end of the catering Molly and Josh are a great team and extremely easy to work with. We had been nervous about finding a caterer to handle food, rentals, setup, changeover from chapel seating to tables in the courtyard where we had the ceremony/reception, etc. etc. But Molly and Josh covered everything and put us at ease. Molly handles the business end, selecting the menu, negotiating prices, contracting rentals, and Josh works with the staff for day-of setup and service. We had a set price per head that we wanted to stay within, and Molly helped us find ways to adjust the menu, rentals, bar and staffing to help us stay as close to budget as we could. They don't upsell, and respected what we were looking for in terms of menu, budget, and look and feel. We had an outdoor wedding at Akwaaba Mansion in Bed-Stuy, and Molly and Josh came for site visits, drew out a map of how the tables and seating would work, and worked with my day-of coordinator (a friend) to revise the plan the day before the wedding, when we had to tent the courtyard at the last minute. The service staff on the day of were so sweet -- young, funky, relaxed and playful, and helped without being weirdly invisible, overly stiff, or invasive. I definitely recommend Sips & Bites, with no reservations.

Italian sandwich shop in Manhattan!…read more A friend told me about this place. They started in Italy I believe so they have spots there, and now a bunch more in Manhattan and a few other cities. Nice and casual spot for a quick bite, and a good option for takeout to eat in the park (Sullivan St location is near Washington Square Park) or on the water (7th Ave location is not too far from Pier 40/45)! All their sandos are served on focaccia (you can see trays on trays of foccacia in the back and it's pretty good!) and the staff was super friendly and quick. I've only been to the 7th Ave location; never gets too busy and there's some seats inside if you want to hang out. Also they have a nice happy hour deal during the week -- a spritz plus half a sando for like $15 I think!

This place is all about the freshly grown herbs - there are planters upon planters of them lining the windows, and even more next to the kitchen. The open layout is complete with an open kitchen at the back, where I'm sure the food is just as fantastic as the rest of the venue. I love that they're using this space for fitness and wellness events too. I recently attended a yoga class here taught by Brendan Lentz of the Dharma Yoga Center. It was a small class, about 15 people total, and he introduced different poses suitable for the varying levels of the people there, as well as different breathing exercises. The 90-minute class ended with fruit bowls and freshly squeezed orange, grapefruit, and blood orange juice, plus some of Bouley's signature lemon pound cake! If I had the money (and an occasion to throw a party for), I'd definitely consider Bouley Botanical.

Erica, the owner/manager is such a great person to work with. She was responsive and helpful when trying to help us pick some good food selections for our guests. She was also able to work around our budget. Catering by Elberta sets the bar for elegance and high quality food. Not only was the food delicious, but it looked even more amazing! Every single one of our guests were blown away with the food. We had a wide variety of selections, including some vegetarian and dessert options. We decided to have a server pass around the Hors d'oeuvres, which ended up being a great idea. The food came out in perfect timing as guests strolled into our party. Erica also provides the server, which I would definitely recommend if you are having an event with small bites. Erica was on time, and even helped to cut and distribute our cake (which was bought separately from Elberta) Thank you so much for taking our event to the next level! Will definitely use you guys for upcoming events!
