Lower East Side Landmark Reduces Food & Beverage Prices for Group events, Private Parties in Response to Economic Crisis
New York – (May 6, 2009) Oliva Restaurant (www.olivanyc.com) proprietors, Christian Bari and Julio Dominguez, today announced that they have responded to the current recession by lowering rates on all events consisting of ten people or more.
"We value the continued patronage from our customers, and want to thank them for supporting us by lowering costs for groups and events in response to the current economic crisis," said Christian Bari.
He continued, "We offer an abundance of family style tapas meals for only $20 per head, and nobody ever leaves hungry. Our unlimited pitchers of sangria are a customer favorite and without question, a big hit, and create at truly convivial feel."
For nearly ten years, the corner of East Houston and Allen has been home to Oliva, a popular destination for Spanish fare and top shelf wines and cocktails. Oliva’s intimate yet lively setting successfully caters to a diverse clientele of New York City residents. In addition, the Restaurant’s unique charm lends itself to groups of all sizes; the cozy environment and custom seating make it perfect for a family get-together for 10, a birthday party for 20, or even a private corporate event for as many as 50 people.
"As a small business owner, I place a great deal of importance on being able to take my clients to restaurants that aren't pretentious, but offer good service, food, atmosphere and drinks," said Mostafa Razzak, partner, JMR Worldwide. What makes Oliva special, is that I am equally comfortable meeting my friends there for drinks, or sitting at the bar having dinner with my parents when they visit from Maryland. This place offers the best of all worlds, and I will continue patronizing this spot for as long for the foreseeable future."
Also of note, is that Oliva provides a different atmosphere for corporate functions – both small and large – as well. Lela Spencer of Eli Lilly has booked the Restaurant to offer her clients, with whom she meets regularly, a change of pace from the standard NY steakhouse.
"I receive such positive feedback from my clients about Oliva about both the food and the festive feel of the place. The Restaurant offers the highest caliber dining without me having to take a second mortgage to cover the bill, which is something on every NYC professional’s mind who submits client entertainment expense reports.
Patrons are able to experience live entertainment every night of the week, and the Latin music can be the perfect compliment to any party. Oliva’s line-up features renowned groups, such as Nu Guajiro and Yuca Seca Band, which play Flamenco, Cuban Salsa, Bossanova & Tango, and Latin Pop (late nights). As the music starts at 9:00 PM on weeknights, Oliva offers early seating for a more quiet setting.
