Pinch

by David Litwak | 2025-07-11

Pinch Food Design is a New York City–based catering company that transforms events into curated culinary experiences. Known for reimagining how people gather, Pinch creates food with intention and designs events that leave lasting impressions. Their work is about more than serving meals—it’s about crafting moments where food, design, and experience come together seamlessly.

Pinch offers catering for a wide range of occasions, from brand events and corporate receptions to conferences, weddings, personal celebrations, and cultural gatherings in museums and galleries. Every detail is tailored: custom menus, branded food, color-matching mixology, and dynamic presentations that turn food into conversation pieces. Their team blends white-glove service with creativity, ensuring events feel polished yet playful, while their staff naturally act as brand ambassadors for each client.

Sustainability is central to Pinch’s philosophy. They support small-scale, local agriculture, measure and offset their carbon footprint, compost food waste, recycle, donate surplus meals, and use biodegradable serveware when disposables are required. As New York City’s only catering company partnered with Zero Foodprint, Pinch actively funds regenerative farming practices and has offset the equivalent of tens of thousands of cars’ annual emissions.

With a kitchen in Chelsea where food is prepped before being finished fresh onsite, Pinch combines artistry, efficiency, and eco-consciousness. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, an intimate wedding, a product launch, or a museum gala, Pinch Food Design ensures food is not just part of the event—it’s the centerpiece of connection, memory, and delight.
