Celebrate Good Friday in NYC With Thoughtful Catering

In a city that never sleeps, traditions still matter. Good Friday is more than a date on the calendar—it’s a moment of reflection, faith, and gathering. For many New Yorkers, it also means observing a meatless day with loved ones. At NY Susan Kitchen, we understand that Good Friday isn’t just about what’s off the table—it’s about what’s on it. That’s why our catering team has crafted menus that honor the occasion while still feeling indulgent and satisfying. Whether you’re hosting a small family dinner or a community gathering, we offer dishes that respect religious customs and still taste amazing. Explore our full holiday catering menus here for other seasonal options.

What Makes Good Friday Catering Unique?

Unlike other catered events, Good Friday comes with specific dietary requirements. Traditionally, meat is avoided, particularly red meat, making seafood and vegetarian options the star of the show. At NY Susan Kitchen, our chefs have created vibrant dishes that cater to these needs without compromising flavor or presentation. It’s not just about following tradition—it’s about elevating it. From flaky fish entrées to satisfying vegetarian pastas, we make it easy to host a memorable meal that honors the meaning behind the day. If you’re planning for a larger event or need to accommodate Kosher or Passover dietary needs as well, see our Passover catering menu for additional options.

Lenten-Friendly Menu Highlights

We’ve designed our Good Friday offerings around ingredients that bring both comfort and creativity to the table. While some stick with the basics, we believe meatless doesn’t have to mean flavorless. Here’s a sample of our top-requested Good Friday dishes, crafted for both small and large gatherings.

• Grilled Atlantic salmon with lemon-dill drizzle
• Stuffed bell peppers with quinoa and black beans
• Linguine with white clam sauce
• Vegetarian baked ziti with roasted vegetables
• Classic Caesar salad (anchovy-free upon request)
• Garlic roasted Brussels sprouts
• Mini potato knishes with sour cream

You’ll find many of these options—and more—within our Easter Sunday catering menu as well, which shares many of the same meatless principles.

Good Friday Menu Package

To take the guesswork out of planning, we’ve put together a sample catering package that aligns with Good Friday dietary customs and delivers on taste. Whether you’re ordering for a family of six or a full office staff, this layout can be scaled to suit your needs.We’re happy to customize your package depending on your guest list or venue size. For additional seasonal flavors, we recommend looking at our Thanksgiving menu options as inspiration for hearty side dishes.

Seafood and Vegetarian Entrées Done Right

When it comes to Good Friday catering in NYC, we pride ourselves on knowing how to do fish and vegetarian dishes right. These aren’t afterthoughts—they’re centerpieces. From rich, flaky whitefish to vegan mushroom bourguignon, our entrees are designed to stand out on the plate and on your palate. Our chefs work with locally sourced ingredients to ensure every bite is fresh and aligned with seasonal availability. Looking for something flexible and individually portioned?

Build Your Own Good Friday Bar

Sometimes, the best way to honor tradition is with flexibility. That’s why our catering includes customizable build-your-own bar options—perfect for events where guests have varied tastes. Consider setting up a grain bowl station, seafood taco bar, or even a vegetarian pasta bar with sauce options on the side. Each bar comes with labeled ingredients and serving utensils to keep dietary concerns in mind while still delivering fun and flavor. You can mix and match ingredients from our grain bowl menu to create your own themed experience.
