Víva la Grasshopper Wrap King! Sure he’s dapper, handsome, unassuming, modest, notoriously press-shy and the ultimate, consummate gentleman, but did you know he’s been busy like a fiend?!
Aside from recently having licensed two outposts (and growing) in Seoul, Korea, Mangia is now expanding to include a Mangia Organics at 45 West 39th St, "featuring all organic and/or locally-grown/sustainable ingredients." Plus—
Oh hell, it’s just too much. Let’s go straight to the awesome press release:
Mangia Cafe and Catering has been servicing New York City area for over 28 years, and we’ve been busy! From our first shop in 1981, we’ve expanded to 5 different locations in the heart of the city, as well as overseas. We’re Manhattan’s No. 1 corporate caterer, with over 4,000 accounts such as Burberry, Oscar De La Renta, Viacom, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and McGraw Hill. Says The New York Times, "Mangia is an upscale takeout lunch factory, offering everything from soups to salads to pastries to designer sandwiches to filling main courses. The identity is Italian… but much of the food is American. The sandwiches, made to order, are best." Gayot Guide calls us "A favorite quick-and-chic lunch spot for young hip professionals."
As good as the reviews are, we have been busy building a greater experience for our customers while still adhering to the tastes that put us on the map in the first place. Mangia is pleased to announce updates on our services, including:
-Free WiFi at our 23rd street cafe, perfect for business lunches or just checking your email while you enjoy one of our acclaimed paninis.
- Executive Chef Ferran Mallol’s new menu at our 48th street restaurant location, as well as full liquor selection, and a new view from our upstairs windows.
-The soon-to-be-launched Mangia Organics at 45 west 39st (212 921 9100) featuring all organic and/or sustainable/locally-grown ingredients.
- Our new bakery at our 57th St site (delivering to all 3 Mangia locales), offering mouthwatering treats and original desserts from consummate pastry chef Patrick Coston.
This of course, is in addition to our renowned antipasto bar, mouth-watering baked goods, hot soups, pressed sandwiches, and great service that Mangia earned its reputation on, all at an affordable cost to our customers during tough economic times. And don’t forget about the Mangia Cookbook, which gives away some (but not all!) of our special recipes!
But that’s not all: Times have changed, and it’s no longer enough to simply be conveniently located and delicious. That’s why in addition to Mangia’s delivery and catering services, we are also expanding our online presence. Find our daily menu on our website, and check out our Facebook and Twitter. Check daily for specials exclusive to our Internet friends and followers, including happy hours, food discounts, and the occasional Mangia giveaway.
Congratulations on the latest, and to the entire crew of Mangia as well.
YOU THE MAN, DAWG. WE LOVE YOU! LONG LIVE THE GRASSHOPPER WRAP KING!
