So we are noticing a trend happening in the CuisinEtc catering world - we are fielding many requests every week and catering at least one Indian Fusion event a month if not more.

the recently opened HOT HOT HOT rooftop deck
of the Empire Hotel on W. 63rd,
with views of Lincoln Center and Central Park
