Which rental companies in New York offer concession carts?
The food vendors who park on street corners may not have a place at stylish soirees, but recently we’ve seen planners using carts to serve finger food as fun, low-cost catering alternative. Although large rental companies carry a wide range of paraphernalia including cooking apparatuses, not all of them offer concession equipment to serve casual kiddie snacks and nibbles. Party Rental Ltd. offers machines for hot dogs, popcorn (with bags and serving packs), snow cones (with cups and syrup), pretzels, frozen drinks (as well as the drink mix), and cotton candy (including mix, cones, and clear bags). TriServe Party Rentals is another biggie that stocks this type of equipment, with a cart for popcorn, one for hot dogs, and one suited for ice cream or hot dogs. Ace Party & Tent Rental rents popcorn machines, cotton candy makers, and frankfurter carts.PTG Event Services can customize their rental carts with company logos, as well as provide staff to serve up the treats. The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation's Kids For Kids event this past May used the popular rental to serve fun food that was gobbled down by children and adults alike. Some smaller, lesser-known companies offer these items too. At the launch for Daily Candy's book, Peter Salyer from Cotton Candy Clowns manned one of his snow cone machines—handing out cherry- and watermelon-flavored ices made with bottled Borba water (a special request from the girlie Web site). Event company Party Kidz, which works largely on events for children, can supply petting zoos and inflatable decor; the company also stock and staff an array of pushcarts, including those for egg creams.
