New York’s premier catering and food service company, Great Performances, enhances life’s celebrations through vibrant flavors, gracious service and professionalism. In collaboration with clients and planners, our chefs take inspiration from contemporary American cuisine and global food-ways to create innovative, visually striking culinary presentations.
Rooted in the arts, Great Performances is the exclusive caterer at cultural institutions throughout New York, including The Plaza Hotel, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Academy of Music and Apollo Theater. We operate numerous restaurants, caf s and concessions, including Dizzy’s Club, The Norm at Brooklyn Museum and The Garden Court Cafe at The Asia Society. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we are also the nation’s first caterer to own and operate an organic farm. Katchkie Farm in Kinderhook, NY provides a source of produce and inspiration for local, seasonal dishes, and we jointly donate a portion of food items to pantries throughout the region.
We remain committed to the arts and local communities through our emerging artists scholarship program, promoting anti-hunger and food rescue efforts, and educating children about healthy eating through our work with The Sylvia Center. Celebrating diversity, community, the arts and innovation, Great Performances works to make the everyday meal a special event.
