Jordana Blitz founded the event and catering company, Little Gem, in 2016 and the name suits the operation perfectly -- a nimble, small business providing delicious meals and is a gem to work with. We should know because we've partnered with them on their most recent New York and Hamptons food delivery service!
In addition to ordering a delicious meal from Little Gem (here is this week's menu!), you can opt in to have one of our Party Looks packaged and delivered with your Little Gem goodies. Email jordana@littlegemnyc.com to learn more.
