Green Mansions Catering History began in 1973 on the upper eastside of Manhattan as “A Private Townhouse Affair” and almost single-handedly jump-started the off-premises catering service industry of finding and renting one-of-a-kind, private spaces for catering important events for clients who wanted something more creative and customized than traditional offerings.

We have participated in all the many culinary trends for four decades, and our great enjoyment and passion is creating fine cuisine, updating traditional favorites, and helping individuals plan lifetime and annual events. The culmination of our four decades of high end social catering is the creation of our two great event venues and combining them with generous and elegant food and services, attentive relationships, highly experienced and professional party planning, and extraordinary elegance, generosity and value.

We have planned and catered countless Wedding Receptions, Ceremonies, Corporate Dinners and Events, Non-Profit and Charity Events, Birthdays and Anniversaries, Bar and Bat Mitzvah, Alumni Reunions, Graduation Events, Holiday Parties, Staff and Employee Receptions, Department Events, Workshops and Brainstorming Sessions, Film shoots, and Celebrations of all kinds. We have catered in our own top venues and all over town in museums, libraries, auction houses, storefronts, galleries, theaters, TV networks, parks and yachts as well as clients' homes and offices.

Clients and Testimonials
For four decades we have rented venues around town to cater client's events. We have four decades of experience setting up rented spaces with equipment, kitchens, bars, dining areas, staffing, music, and audiovisual almost anywhere, such as FAO Schwartz, NY Public Library, Ralph Lauren, Radio City Music Hall, CBS Studios, Southebys, Explorers Club and Central Park
We don't have an outdoor terrace, but we do have many plants, trees, and a Garden Room. We don't have a rooftop, but we do have a full-floor penthouse with almost more window than wall. It's like being Outdoors. We do bring our catering to other rentable venues around town that have outdoor areas, however.
Lofts are very appealing to New Yorkers, and our Two Reception Venues are beautiful lofts with lots of open space for guests to enjoy and choreograph. Our loft-like venues can be set up in many ways, including grazing parties, formal dinners, ceremonies and presentations, and lounge effects. We maintain a lot of pin spots to highlight details and table centerpieces, creating drama in a loft-like space.
Manhattan Penthouse and Alger House are two magnificent alternatives for Corporate Events, Private Dinners and Receptions, and many kinds of internal and guest functions and celebrations. They are quite different from each other and can be set up in many ways for informal and formal effects. We have years of experience helping clients design all kinds of events. Alger House is particularly suitable for very small events for as few as 25 guests, and Manhattan Penthouse works for as few as 50 during the week. Alger House is one of the best deals in town for weekday bookings. We can cater a restaurant style dinner for twenty to thirty guests, including fine foods and wines, for less than many alternative spaces around town.
We host many daytime meetings, brainstorming sessions, workshops, Interview filmings, book signings, and Press and Publicity events. We create outstanding Continental and American Breakfasts as well as Light Lunches and more formal Buffet and Served Lunches, with Snack Breaks in between and Coffees and Beverages running all day. Both our locations have the quiet, privacy and magical atmosphere condusive to workshops, brainstorming and breakout sessions. Some of our daytime events end with a Cocktail Reception at the end of the day.
Both of our venues have the comfort, the quiet, the easy access, the high ceilings, and the experienced help in setting up filming, photography, and interviews, with areas for changing and makeup and arrangements for cheap meals and snacks. More than that, they have the various interesting backgrounds that are required for multiple set ups.
Small dinners with special menus and wines in one of our amazing rooms, just like a restaurant, but even better! Costs run approximately $125.00 to $200.00 per person, all in, depending on the guest count, the meal, and the special wines, for 8 to 24 guests.
