Hello, NYC hosts! There's no better way to gather friends in the city than with a bagel brunch—casual, delicious, and full of that communal spirit. At Go Bagels, we love supporting these social moments with fresh options that make planning a breeze. Let's cover the essentials and inspirations for your next brunch, from menus to setups, encouraging you to graze happily and order via e-comm for convenience.
Essentials start with the bagels: Choose a mix of flavors like cinnamon raisin for sweet tooths and onion for savory fans. Cater for 8-12 people with 2 dozen bagels, paired with schmears, fresh salmon, and fruits. Add NYC flair with bodega-style elements like pickled veggies or local cheeses. Keep it practical—pre-slice bagels for easy assembly, and set up a DIY station where guests build their own. This invites interaction, turning your gathering into a lively graze fest.
Inspiration for themes: Go "Central Park Picnic" with outdoor blankets and portable spreads, or "Brooklyn Loft Vibes" with industrial decor and artisanal toppings. Lighting and music matter—soft jazz for a chill atmosphere, with fresh flowers adding color. In NYC's compact spaces, use vertical displays for platters to save room while looking inviting. Budget tip: Our catering packs include everything, from bagels to beverages, making it scalable and stress-free.
Enhance with sides like quiches or salads, and don't forget drinks—mimosas or our coffee for that brunch kick. Encourage sharing stories over bites, fostering connections in the city's fast pace. Cleanup is easy with disposable yet eco-friendly items.
