Light Summer Options for Wellness-Focused Teams

During the summer, some teams prefer lighter meals that offer flavor without heaviness. Gotham’s Light Summer Menu focuses on fresh, produce-driven offerings that support wellness and productivity. These selections are ideal for daytime planning sessions, creative sprints, and marketing retreats where guests need to stay energized.

Popular dishes include:

• Grilled shrimp and watermelon skewers

• Mini Mediterranean wraps with hummus, cucumber, and tomato

Every item is portioned for quick distribution and plated for clean presentation. Whether served buffet-style or as part of a boxed meal, these light summer options are satisfying without being indulgent.

BBQ Catering for Staff Celebrations

If you’re planning a casual summer celebration, few menus make an impact like BBQ. Our Summer BBQ Catering Menu is designed for team-building days, milestone celebrations, or client appreciation events. The menu includes classic grilled proteins, seasonal sides, and flexible delivery formats so your team can enjoy the food with minimal prep or stress.

Choose from options like:

• BBQ pulled chicken with housemade sauce

We offer both individual plating and serve-yourself buffet layouts. All packaging is optimized for NYC rooftop settings, patios, or in-office kitchens.

Beverage Pairings That Match the Season

No summer event is complete without the right drinks. Gotham’s seasonal beverage options are crafted to cool and refresh while complementing summer menus. Each drink station or delivery includes chilled options that reflect the season’s best flavors.

Highlights include:

Drink service can be branded, served in carafes, or packaged individually for grab-and-go events. Hot weather doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice sophistication.
