Trade Show & Showroom Catering in NYC
Keep your booth stocked and your buyers coming back. Metro Catering delivers breakfast, coffee, snacks and receptions to exhibitors and event organizers at New York’s market weeks, from the booth to the showroom, every day of the show.
The Markets We Cater
From showroom suites to the show floor, we plan around each market’s schedule, buyers and booth setup.
NY NOW (Gift & Accessories) Catering
NY NOW brings gift, home, lifestyle and accessories brands together with retail buyers for days of walking the floor and writing orders. Long days on your feet call for food that’s easy to grab between conversations. We set up morning coffee and pastries before the doors open, keep snack and beverage stations stocked through the afternoon, and cater buyer receptions and booth happy hours that give visitors a reason to stop and stay.
FFANY Market Week Catering
During FFANY Market Week, footwear brands meet retail buyers in showrooms and hotel suites for back-to-back appointments. Every meeting is a chance to make an impression. We deliver breakfast and coffee service each morning, appointment platters and lunch drop-off through the day, and hors d’oeuvres for evening events, all scheduled around your appointment calendar so the room is always ready for the next buyer.
Toy Fair New York Catering
Toy Fair New York is where the toy and play industry launches new lines, meets licensing partners and previews products for press. Busy booths and showrooms need food that keeps a team going and makes guests feel welcome. We cater booth snacks and beverage stations, daily breakfast for your staff, and launch receptions with passed hors d’oeuvres for meetings and press events.
New York Home Fashions Market Catering
At the New York Home Fashions Market, bedding, bath and table brands open their showrooms to buyers for market appointments. A well-hosted showroom keeps buyers comfortable and engaged. We provide showroom breakfast and coffee, lunch drop-off for every day of the market, and cocktail receptions with hors d’oeuvres for buyer events after hours.
NYC Spring Jewelry, Antique & Object Show Catering
The NYC Spring Jewelry, Antique & Object Show brings dealers in jewelry, antiques and decorative objects together with collectors and the trade. Dealers spend long hours with their collections, so food needs to be easy and tidy around fine pieces. We cater exhibitor breakfast and coffee service, clean grab-and-go bites, and opening night receptions with elegant hors d’oeuvres.
