We get the same call a lot in November. Someone has been put in charge of the office party or the family dinner, they have a date and a rough headcount, and they want to know what we can do. The first thing we ask is whether they want to come to us or have us come to them, because Republica catering does both and the answer changes most of what follows.
We're at 160 Dyckman Street in Inwood and the restaurant has three floors. On the first floor is La Casita, a private dining room with its own bar, which is where most seated dinners for smaller groups end up. The second floor is the indoor lounge. It has a DJ booth, LED walls and a private bar, so it suits a company party that plans to keep going after the plates are cleared. The rooftop is on the third floor, and since it's enclosed and heated in the winter we book it for parties straight through December.
You can reserve a few tables, a single floor or the whole building, which holds up to 300 people. We can put together a custom menu and an open bar package, and we'll arrange the furniture however your group needs it. Photos of all three floors are in the gallery, and the inquiry form is on the private parties page.
Most people who choose this option do it because their own space is too small or because they don't want to deal with setup and cleanup on a night when they'd like to enjoy themselves.
The other half of our holiday catering goes out the door. We deliver to offices, schools and homes in all five boroughs, and delivery and setup are part of the order. A lot of these are weekday lunches, where pulling a whole staff uptown for two hours isn't practical.
If you're ordering for a public school, it helps to know that Republica is an approved NYC Department of Education vendor. Schools and DOE programs can order from us without having to get a new vendor approved first.
The catering menu is sold by the tray and most trays feed 10 people.
For December the roasted pork shoulder is the most requested item by a wide margin. People usually pair it with roasted chicken, and some add oxtail or salmon. And don’t forget to grab a few sides to go with your order. Our empanadas are a customer favorite and they’re priced by the piece. We'd suggest at least two per person because they tend to disappear before the main trays are even uncovered!
For guests who don't eat meat there's eggplant lasagna, vegan meatballs, quinoa salad and grilled vegetables. The menu marks each item for gluten, dairy, shellfish and nuts, and shows which ones are vegetarian or vegan.
December weekends fill up early, both in the restaurant and on the catering calendar, so it's worth sending us your date even if the guest count isn't final. Include the date, the time, about how many people you expect and any allergies in the group.
