pov: you’re a delivery driver for Great Performances 🚛 Before the first guest arrives, before the tables are set, and before the first plate hits the table, our delivery drivers are already on the move! From loading trucks and navigating the New York City streets, to making sure every piece of equipment, ingredient, and bit of decor arrives exactly where it needs to be, our drivers are an essential part of bringing every event to life. They’re the early mornings. The miles traveled. The last-minute adjustments. The heavy lifting. And, most importantly, the people who make sure our teams have what they need to execute exceptional events. 🎥 Take a look at a day in the life of our delivery team and see what it takes to get Great Performances from our kitchens and warehouses to events across New York City and beyond! Because behind every great event is a great team, and it takes all of us to make the magic happen. #GreatPerformances #Catering #Events #Hospitality #BehindTheScenes #DayInTheLife #EventProduction #Teamwork #NYCEvents

What happens when food becomes a bridge between cultures, memories, and the people who make Great Performances what it is? For our September Food Festival, we’re highlighting Sonia Usmar and her take on Moqueca, a vibrant Brazilian seafood stew with deep connections to West African and Caribbean culinary traditions. For Sonia, this dish is more than a recipe. Featured dendê oil brings back memories of her West African upbringing, while coconut connects to the West Indian food traditions and Jamaican cuisine she’s encountered throughout her travels. It’s a beautiful reminder that food can carry history, and that sometimes, different culinary traditions have more in common than we realize. And, as always, we’re bringing things back to the farm. Peppers featured in this month’s recipe are grown at Katchkie Farm, our organic farm in Kinderhook, NY. 🌱 We’re proud to celebrate the talent, stories, and perspectives of the people behind the food at Great Performances! 💬 What’s a dish that connects you to your culture, your family, or a place you’ve called home?

Attended a tasting today at Great Performances, and I was blown away! The colors. The pairings. The flavors. Oh my! Each dish was beautifully presented, with thoughtful combinations that tasted every bit as good as they looked. No crumbs were left behind. 🍽️ Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Events Ronnie Davis Tara McGill

Looking back on a busy week: Goalkeepers 2026 at Jazz at Lincoln Center ✨ From meaningful meetings and conversations to the final reception, our team was behind the scenes at Jazz at Lincoln Center for Goalkeepers 2026 last Monday! Featuring some of our most beloved food activations, such as our Pan-African Station in collaboration with Eat Off-Beat and new Dubai-inspired market stall, the day’s menu incorporated inspiration from across the globe. 🌎 Our incredible staff made sure every guest was thoughtfully cared for throughout the entire day and evening, whether it be via food, hospitality, or exceptional service. 🥘 Events of this scale are a true team effort. We’re grateful to our culinary, service, operations, venue, and events teams who worked together seamlessly to make this event happen, and to those who trusted Great Performances to be part of such a meaningful gathering. 👫 A special thank you to our partners and the entire Goalkeepers team for bringing people together around ideas, action, and the work toward a better future! 🧡 #GreatPerformances #Goalkeepers2026 #JazzAtLincolnCenter #NYCEvents #EventCatering #Hospitality #Catering

A huge thank you to Great Performanceses for nourishing our Climate Week NYC community! For six straight days, they’ll be feeding our speakers, performers, partners, and attendees through breakfasts, lunches, and receptions at WNYC’s The Greene Space. That is a LOT of meals and a lot of care. We’re so grateful to have a culinary partner making sure the food throughout the week is not only delicious, but climate-friendly too. Thank you to Liz Neumark, Jenell Cruickshank, Lauren Tregor and the entire Great Performances team for helping us bring people together around good food, big ideas, and a shared table. 💚 #ClimateWeekNYC
