About Bartleby & Sage Catering & Planning
Founded in 1997
Since 1997 and for nearly three decades, Bartleby & Sage has created thousands of corporate events, from intimate boardroom lunches to elegant cocktail parties to 700-guest galas. Bartleby & Sage has catered thousands of unforgettable events across New York: rocked out a star-studded MTV Awards afterparty for thousands of ravenous celebs. Bartleby & Sage has transformed a Victoria's Secret store into an unforgettable afterparty and even crafted a head-turning Marie Antoinette-themed dessert extravaganza for designer Philipp Plein. For Bartleby & Sage, no request is too outrageous, no vision too grand, no detail overlooked. The best part—Bartleby & Sage's gracious care of your event. No matter what your budget, we will devise a tasty, mind-blowing menu with the same care and attention to your needs and outcome. As partners in the success of your event, we can introduce you to our curated list of designers, musicians, and florists. Plus, our top-notch staff — from the delivery people to the front-of-the-house captains — will welcome you with attentive, award-winning service. Easy events to-go or full-service planning — your choice! Bartleby & Sage prepares both traditional and contemporary American food, using the freshest naturally-grown produce and proteins from small family-run farms and purveyors. As champions of eco-friendly products and sustainable services, we look forward to bringing you food full of authentic flavors. Some notable publications and media Bartleby & Sage have been mentioned in include: Catering Magazine - The Food Network - The New York Times - The Today Show - NBC - Crain’s Business - The Daily News - Time Out - New York Magazine - Martha Stewart - and more!
