“Gotham Bagels is finally bringing Chicagoans their coveted New York style bagels.”
Individually wrapped, or build your own?
Grab-and-go: in Chicago and Lake Geneva, the Sandwich Platter and the Bagel and Cream Cheese Platter come wrapped and sliced in half (18 halves a platter), so people can take one between meetings without a line at the table.
Build your own: our bagel and deli platters come with a baker's dozen of bagels and the lox, deli meats, salads and spreads to go with them. Good for a longer breakfast where people linger. Madison's catering menu is built around these platters.
Need a different mix, or a set number of each sandwich? Ask us.
