SANDWICHES SIDE SALADS

Sandwiches and Side Salads Catering

In New York City, catering expectations are shaped by fast-paced schedules, refined tastes, and a demand for precision. At Gotham Catering and Events, sandwiches and side salads are more than convenient lunch fare—they’re carefully curated elements of a balanced, sophisticated experience. From corporate boardrooms to private brownstone luncheons, these components anchor midday meals with elegance and ease.

Our approach reflects the city’s diversity and rhythm. A sandwich isn’t merely a stack of ingredients—it’s a composed bite featuring roasted vegetables from Union Square Market, house-made spreads, and slow-roasted proteins layered between locally baked breads. Our side salads, meanwhile, balance texture, nutrition, and color to ensure visual appeal and lasting satisfaction. These meals arrive perfectly plated or boxed, designed for high-functioning environments where taste must match presentation.

We provide comprehensive corporate catering across NYC, specializing in seamless delivery, on-site setups, and detailed customization. Clients appreciate our readiness to meet dietary needs with intention—whether it’s gluten-free focaccia, kosher-style roasted chicken, or vegan lemon-tahini dressings. Everything is aligned with Gotham’s core values: sustainability, clarity of flavor, and an urban aesthetic rooted in New York sophistication.

What Makes Our Sandwich and Salad Catering Different

We source ingredients seasonally and locally whenever possible, ensuring every sandwich and salad feels fresh and specific to the time of year. Think heirloom tomatoes in August, roasted squash in October, and crisp microgreens from upstate hydroponic growers throughout the winter. These thoughtful choices result in catering that’s more personal and grounded in place.

With the city’s pace in mind, our sandwich offerings are curated with efficiency and elegance. Our sandwich catering menu highlights these values with a range of textures and flavor profiles that suit a variety of palates and event tones. We pay close attention to the balance between richness and freshness, always considering how the food will travel and present on arrival.

Lunch Boxes That Don’t Compromise on Style

For working lunches or smaller, high-attention gatherings, our lunch box catering offers structure and ease without giving up quality. Each box is composed with intention—no element is an afterthought. A sandwich is matched with a complementary salad and an optional artisan treat, allowing hosts to provide a cohesive meal that feels as considered as a plated lunch.

These boxes are popular across media offices, law firms, and fashion houses where both dietary consideration and visual presentation are paramount. We handle all labeling, allergen guidance, and packaging in-house to maintain both clarity and consistency. It’s these small, deliberate details that define our standard of service.

Clients often engage us for events where food is one part of a broader creative vision. We support this by offering tastings and menu development that align with event themes and client values. Whether it’s for a product launch or an internal milestone, we ensure the menu contributes to the environment—not just fills a requirement. Our role extends beyond food. With in-house design capabilities, we create cohesive catering displays that mirror your tone—be it minimalist, vibrant, or editorially styled. This integration between culinary execution and visual identity is a key differentiator for Gotham Catering and Events.

Balance, Texture, and Detail in Every Bowl

Each salad we deliver is built to complement our sandwiches, while also standing confidently on its own. The vegetables are layered, not tossed. The dressings are house-blended in small batches. We consider how ingredients settle in a container and how they hold up over time. Nothing is purely decorative, but every element enhances both nutrition and flavor.

We offer a robust create-your-own salad experience for clients who want variety without compromising structure. This is particularly popular at workshops or client appreciation events, where guests appreciate agency over their choices while still receiving a curated menu.

For events seeking nutrient-dense yet elegant meal options, our grain bowl menu introduces complex carbs, seasonal vegetables, and flavorful dressings. Farro with roasted eggplant and mint yogurt or quinoa with grilled citrus tofu offers texture, color, and staying power without feeling heavy. It’s health-forward without being predictable.

Our approach to salads and sandwiches is consistent across formats, whether you’re hosting a lunch-and-learn or delivering meals to a client’s office in SoHo. Every container, garnish, and portion is designed for maximum clarity, freshness, and professionalism. With decades of experience behind us, we’re used to managing dietary variation without letting it slow service. For larger events where variety is key, our lunch buffet options expand the salad and sandwich offering into a broader spectrum. This includes hot dishes and specialty accompaniments, while maintaining the same attention to composition and ingredient sourcing.

Menus That Evolve with the Occasion

While sandwiches and side salads are foundational to our offerings, Gotham Catering and Events builds upward from there with menus tailored to the event’s character. From executive lunches to editorial team mixers, our menus are developed with seasonality, setting, and guest expectations in mind. This results in offerings that feel cohesive and curated, not pulled from a generic list.

Clients hosting evening or full-day gatherings often look to our dinner buffet as a natural progression from midday offerings. These setups preserve the same visual refinement and balanced flavor profiles that define our daytime menus, while introducing deeper, more robust dishes appropriate for longer formats.

For planners interested in unique styling or thematic experiences, our themed lunch menus and themed dinner menus offer a seamless way to align catering with brand messaging or seasonal motifs. These packages include customized dishes, elevated garnishing, and layout presentation that supports the broader design narrative of the event.

Room-Temperature Options for Logistical Flexibility

For off-site meetings, gallery prep days, and field teams, food that holds well at room temperature without sacrificing quality is essential. Our room temperature menus are built with this in mind. These selections include composed salads, layered grain bowls, cold-pressed sandwich builds, and plant-forward plates that retain freshness without needing heating equipment.

This flexibility allows hosts to offer a complete, elegant meal regardless of location or access to a service kitchen. It also helps streamline events where timing may fluctuate, such as media previews or long-form workshops.

Expanding the Palette with Global and Local Inspiration

Gotham’s menus are rooted in New York’s culinary diversity. Our Mexican fajita bar catering offers bold, customizable platters with freshly prepared proteins, vegetables, and house-made salsas. This setup is often chosen for creative teams or agencies hosting more informal but still design-conscious gatherings.

We also explore a wider cultural spectrum across categories—soups, pastas, and other hot offerings are crafted to complement, not compete with, our sandwiches and salads. Our soup catering includes seasonal selections like carrot ginger in winter or chilled cucumber mint in warmer months, designed as textural counterpoints to grain-based salads and lighter sandwiches.

The addition of warm comfort dishes like those from our hot Italian pasta collection is particularly fitting for hybrid events where guests arrive in waves, and the food must retain consistency over time. We approach each of these offerings with the same attention to ingredient integrity and presentation.

Finishing Touches and Complementary Platters

No catered event feels complete without a few carefully considered extras. Our dessert catering menu brings sweet options designed for clean presentation and easy serving. Items are portioned for one-hand access, allowing guests to mingle while enjoying the final course of their meal.

Similarly, our heroes by the foot add a local flair that speaks to classic NYC gatherings—whether corporate or casual. These are not oversized sandwiches, but carefully layered, flavor-balanced combinations served on artisan bread with thoughtful garnishes and optional dietary adjustments.

Where informal elegance is the goal, our drop-off platters allow for the look and feel of a staffed event without requiring service personnel. We package and present each item in a way that makes setup intuitive for hosts and visually consistent for guests.

Clarity, Structure, and Seamless Planning

Every Gotham event begins with clarity. Menus are presented with clean formatting, options for substitutions, and allergen details noted in advance. This transparency helps clients plan with confidence and ensures a consistent experience from the first conversation to the final bite.

We encourage planners to explore our full range of offerings via our menu page, which includes sandwich and salad pairings alongside themed collections, buffets, and tasting options. We also maintain detailed catering policies to help streamline booking and support event flow. Every aspect is designed to reduce last-minute adjustments while maximizing impact and reliability.

For clients managing tight production schedules, brand-sensitive gatherings, or VIP-facing experiences, Gotham Catering and Events brings the calm execution and elevated details that help your team focus on what matters. Our sandwich and side salad catering is just the beginning of what we can help you deliver.
