Perfect Picnic NYC

Perfect Picnic you are the best!
If you running short on time and want to do a romantic picnic, you can have Perfect Picnic create one for you. I got the classic picnic for $ 35 and it comes with cured meats, a baguette, fig jam, two different cheeses, candy, and two bottled waters. I also order a side item of fresh strawberries. Everything was beautifully packaged, picturesque, and delicious. What I appreciate even more was their service.
I originally scheduled to pick up my picnic at 1pm but I didn’t. I thought I could go in at a later time and pick it up but they called me to follow up and I was able to arrange it to get it delivered to me. Perfect!
This definitely a great date idea if you are short on time or creativity. Thank you again Perfect Picnic and Lindsay!

My boyfriend and I recently ordered the Deluxe Picnic for $ 100 that states it serves 2, but they definitely gave a good amount of food. They only have 2 Central Park delivery spots at 2 different times: 1 pm at the Central Park West entrance and 72^nd then 4pm Central Park South and 6^th Ave. They also deliver to many other locations in the city, including the Brooklyn Bridge!
This is especially a great idea for NYC visitors as setting up a picnic is difficult to do. We picked up our order at the 1pm CP West and sat around the lake at 71^st. A blanket was included as well, but I was a little disappointed with the small size of the blanket and thin material.
The spread was amazing. Entire load of bread, cheese and meat spread, salad with pâté, apricot jam. Everything was amazing. But I wouldn’t mind if they forgo the candy and gave more fruits.
Great and simple idea for those who are too lazy to make their own picnic! Prices are decent as well when comparing to the spread!

Perfect indeed! Wendy was a joy to work with from start to finish – excellent communication, super helpful party planning and awesome delivery. We had a picnic party on Pier 25, Tribeca, for my son’s 3^rd birthday. The kids loved their kiddie bags filled with chips, cheese baguette, cookie, juice box and a granny smith apple. And the groucho glasses were adorable! The adults loved the summer dinners of chicken, potato salad, greens and crunchy crudite. The lemonade was refreshing and not too sweet as promised – also very pretty with lemon slices and herbs floating in it – perfect to refresh the kids, and easy to top off with little extra something in the adult’s glasses ;) The entire affair was elegant, easy, and affordable. Way to take a mom’s stress out of a kid’s birthday and make it a real party that everyone enjoyed. Thank you Wendy!

Amazing idea. My company had a picnic after a softball game most of us played in at Central Park. Perfect Picnic NYC delivered enough food that was not only delicious but the perfect snack for everyone. We loved the olives, the different fruit selections, and most of all the sandwiches. Whoever came up with this company is a genius. Our company will definitely be using this again if we ever have another picnic.

Perfect Picnic catered our amazing wedding reception picnic in Central Park this weekend. I can’t say enough about how perfect it was but it was truly a dream come true. Every detail was amazing: the food, the flowers, the design, the location. All so lovely. And most of all, Wendy and Nicole were great to work with in the many months leading up to the big day. They answered our endless questions and were so calm and reassuring and kind and professional. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Amazing picnic! Beautiful day! No detail left out! My wife planned a surprise Mother’s Day brunch for us and our baby girl. It was delightful! From the cheese to the wine to the whoopie pie for dessert. Loved the flowers and the pillows too!

Perfect Picnic played a key role in helping me crush my wife’s 30^th Birthday Weekend Celebration (the theme was tourists in our own city, and this part was a picnic in Central Park). The beauty of New York City is that you can say «I wonder if there is a company that makes delicious, all-​inclusive picnic lunches, at a reasonable price, and will deliver them directly to the Plaza Hotel?» The answer, of course, is «Yes,» and more specifically, the answer is Perfect Picnic NYC. My goodness this is a solid company. I placed my order the day before, and also had a question. Wendy responded immediately to confirm my request. I ordered the Deluxe Picnic, which arrived right on time and defied the laws of physics in packing so much food (and utensils, plates, water, and even a picnic blanket) into a small canvas sack. It was seriously like a magic bag that seemed to produce an endless supply of gourmet meats, cheeses, spreads, salad, and baguettes… so many delicious little baguettes. Everything was fresh and flavorful. After our picnic, we proceeded to slip into a wonderful food coma in our own private nook of the park. My wife loved her picnic and also pointed out that it would be a great idea for an NYC bachelorette party, so take note, ladies. Definitely check this company out if you want a fun and convenient twist on the traditional picnic. (Pro Tip: There are also a bunch of side dishes you can order, but they appear under a different link on the website than the picnic bags.)

This review is longgggg overdue but very well deserved. I contacted perfect picnic to get information about their proposal picnic after finding them through Unilocal.They gave me all the information I asked plus extra! They recommended romantic places to have the picnic. Needless to say when the big day came, perfect picnic went above and beyond. They texted me once the picnic was ready and it was perfect! So much so that my wife didn’t believe it was our picnic! Everything was delicious and fresh we finished it all! Long story short, if you want to have a picnic, make your life easier and just go to perfect picnic.

I arranged to have Perfect Picnic NYC put together the Classic picnic for my husband’s birthday. They delivered it to the address requested with no problem and the picnic even arrived a little early. The food is really good, especially that baguette! Also the fig jam is amazing — definitely a unique standout.
My only request is that they provide cutlery to with the picnic; maybe this was overlooked as the other reviewers didn’t seem to have a problem, but I was able to make due.
Would recommend this service for something different and delicious.

We were visiting NY and I really wanted to have a picnic in Central Park. I happened to find this place through Unilocal and I’m so glad I did! I had ordered the «Classic» bag a day before we were expected to be there (which they ask for 24 hr notice) and on the day we got to NYC our bag was ready for pick up! There is nothing like this in San Diego or LA so this was a treat (or at least that I know of :)) and everything in our bag was amazing! Everything you would need comes in your bag… You could probably easily share the Classic bag between 3 ppl but my husband and I didn’t want thing to go to waste :). I highly recommend this place to anyone!

A little late but this is a review that I knew i needed to make and I knew this had to be
my first review on Unilocal
My wife and I took a trip to NYC from Edmonton, AB Canada for a wedding and it happen to also land on her birthday. I needed to do something nice for her so I thought… Why not a picnic in central park!
I found Perfect picnic and made my order. WOW did this place ever take care of everything
they set me up with a perfect package for 2 that included the mat we would sit on
the food and water napkins, tote bag, plates EVERYTHING!
They even gave us suggestions for where to go in central park.
I took my wife there and she had no idea what we were going to do and out comes
Wendy on her bike with our picnic! I was not expecting that and my wife was so surprised!
I just wanted to say Thank you from a dude struggling to do something nice for his Wife
so for any guys who wants to do a romantic picnic or just to go hang out at central park
this is the best bang for your buck!
Her friends will compliment you with OMG how sweet, and maybe even get Jealous of how great of an idea this is and hope their man friends will do this for them.
trust me I speak from Experience.
This was back in May 2012 and My wife and I have not forgotten our «perfect picnic»
Thanks again!

This place makes some of the best «baguettini» sandwiches I’ve ever had. I can’t remember the exact sandwiches we ordered into work but it wouldn’t matter anyway since they change the options daily. You just order a «picnic basket» and it comes with all sorts of different sandwiches to choose from. I tried four different ones that had everything from goat cheese to duck to chorizo and more and they were all good. That’s enough proof for me. I’ll be begging for this at our next lunch meeting.

Awesome, awesome, awesome!
Got the Classic Picnic for $ 32 and it was the perfect amount of food for 2 of us.
2 wedges of cheese
2 types of meats
Baguette/​Baguettinis
Pickles
Olives
4 salted caramels
2 bottles of water
Cutlery
Small cloth for the food
Plates
Napkins
Tote bag
Everything was delicious, convenient and the ladies in the shop are so friendly. Would definitely recommend calling ahead morning/​day of.

LOVE the idea of the Perfect Picnic! We had our Book Club meeting catered by them and got the Baguettini in a box and we selected the following:
Fresh goat cheese with fig jam — MY FAV!
Serrano ham with chives
Salami with cheddar and arugula
Clothbound cheddar with chutney
We also got chips, waters and the most delicious salted caramels! They can also set up a picnic in the park for you for a special occasion.
The best part is all their ingredients are sourced locally. So it’s always fresh and delicious!
I will definitely be using them again and highly recommend them!

My husband surprised me for our anniversary with a private sailboat tour in the harbor along with a DELICIOUS feast supplied by Perfect Picnic.
Neither of us had used them before, but he found it through a Thrillist email blast and saved it at the back of his mind, then sprung it out this past week! I’m so glad he did… while I didn’t visit the place myself, he said that the staff was SUPER nice to him, and I can vouch that the end result product was wonderful!
He got the picnic called: Deluxe Picnic
In the totebag came: blanket, utensils, baguette (a GOOD one, too!), 3 cheeses, 2 meats, 1 country pâté, a series of interesting jams & spreads, cornichons, olives, berries, crudite with REAL french onion dip (not out of a packet), chocolate caramels, sparkling water, a cutting board and a rustic linen napkin. Of course, we brought our own wine as well ;) We’re a bunch of foodies and the level of quality for everything was VERY HIGH and worth it.
BOTTOM LINE: Yes! they got the name right on this one: Perfect Picnic!
PS: if you want to plan a similar outing, see my review of the sailboat outfit: Tribeca Sailing

What a great gift! We’ve received great compliments from each of our customers that we’ve sent a picnic to. Great locally-​sourced ingredients, personalized service and an incredible presentation. What a great idea & worth every penny!
Side note — we’ve also ordered the new baguettini in a box to share with guests at a party — awesome. Great breads & flavor combinations and so beautifully presented — each tied with twine with a cute label so you know what’s inside, gingham lining the inside of the box — all the detail! It’s nice to see a food company that takes pride in their product.

Thank you for going above and beyond. You really made an effort to ensure we were completely satisfied with your services. Honestly, perfect picnic has won me over. Thank you so much for everything and all you did. I am a fan of yours, and would recommend your business to any of my friends that are going to visit NYC. You care about the satisfaction of your customers, and that really means alot. Perfect Picnic, thank you!

Super cute and what a novel idea!
I can’t believe it took a Canadian to tell me about this… how did I not know about this?
Every picnic gets a reusable tote!

Perfect Picnic is amazing concept that is executed brilliantly. Upon walking into this quaint shop, my boyfriend and I were greeted by the very friendly owner who explained how it all worked. Basically, you choose a picnic package which includes all the picnic essentials. We purchased the ‘Classic Picnic’ which was $ 28 for two people; however, I believe they’ve gone up in price since then. This include a baguette, small container of fig jam, two nice sized chunks of artisanal cheeses, cured meats, a container of olives, two caramels, two water bottles, cutlery, and a small cloth. All of this came packaged in a reusable tote bag.
One of my favorite meals to eat is a simple spread of quality meat, cheese, and bread. Perfect Picnic did not disappoint in this area. The baguette was crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. The cheeses were both very flavorful, and complemented the cured meats. Not to mention, it’s fantastically convenient to have everything prepared and packaged for you.
After grabbing the tote, we took the subway to Central Park and sprawled out on the grass. The ‘Classic’ package comes with a small picnic «surface» which was nice, although around the size of a dishtowel which only fit the food. I think the more expensive packages contain an actual blanket. Another slight negative was that the plastic knife was nowhere near capable of cutting the baguette. A tiny price to pay for convenience and quality of our picnic on a sunny day in Central Park.

Are you too lazy to plan something nice for your significant other? Are you supermarket incompetent and not capable of putting things together for a meal or outdoor eating extravaganza? Do you just like to have someone do things for you so you look good and don’t have to credit anyone for doing all of the hard work? Do you like locally sourced food that tastes awesome? If you answered yes to any or all of those questions then you should get off of your couch, stop ignoring your responsibilities as a significant other and run over to Perfect Picnic. Seriously, go.
Perfect Picnic is perfectly sized for your needs, it’s tiny. If you want to have a picnic (surprise someone with this and you will be in very, very good shape) and don’t want to do the work, go here. Everything is done for you, thought of in advance and carefully considered. From meats to jams to bread to drinks to dips — are you understanding this? No more wandering around Whole Foods trying to figure out what goes well together, just open the door to Perfect Picnic and ask Wendy for help. You will be rewarded.
As if it wasn’t awesome enough as a picnic ensemble, how about a gift basket for work? No, not a fruit cake, a well-​curated basket of locally sourced goodies that you will probably not deliver to your intended recipient after salivating over its contents. If you’ve always wanted a butler or an assistant who will take care of you in a way you wouldn’t think of, get a Perfect Picnic and thank me later.
