Dine Prive

Catering moves past the weekend-powerpoint model here. Dine Prive leaves the predictable tray-passing protocols behind; events from bare-bones boardroom lunches to a rooftop cocktail hour arrive ready to run without on-site concessions. Opt for boxed breakfasts, sit-down plated dinners, or five-foot spreads of hors d’oeuvres—the menu tailors to the exact headcount and schedule rather than the other way around; last-minute venue changes rarely trigger extra fees. Head to the fourth floor at 33 W 19th St for deliveries or pickup. The same space doubles as a staging area—desserts shrink-wrapped by the dozen ride the service elevator straight to ballrooms nearby. Expect no surprises on packing materials; everything ships with reusable crates labeled in clear, permanent ink that survives a caterer’s worst weather dash. To lock in coverage call (212) 203-5174 before finalizing guest counts—late adjustments rarely feel rushed. Directions are one click away if you’re cruising the Flatiron corridor: find the route here.
