Trust for Gov­er­nors Island Seeks Pro­pos­als for Sea­son­al Pop Up Cafés for the 2017 Season

Dec 15, 2016 4:14 pm

The Trust for Gov­er­nors Island issued today a Request for Pro­pos­als for Sea­son­al Pop Up Café con­cepts on Gov­er­nors Island. The Trust is seek­ing high qual­i­ty and cre­ative pro­pos­als for alco­hol and food ser­vice from oper­a­tors with a proven track record in the food and bev­er­age indus­try, excel­lent cus­tomer ser­vice and a keen inter­est in improv­ing the vis­i­tor expe­ri­ence on Gov­er­nors Island. Two exclu­sive sites in Liggett Ter­race, the Island’s most high­ly traf­ficked area, will be offered to ven­dors propos­ing beer gar­den or wine bar style con­cepts for the 2017 season. 

As Gov­er­nors Island con­tin­ues to grow in pop­u­lar­i­ty dur­ing the sum­mer months, so does the need to feed our vis­i­tors! The Trust hopes to expand and diver­si­fy its offer­ings for food and bev­er­age and com­ple­ment exist­ing mobile food ven­dors with a beer gar­den or seat­ed wine bar through ven­dors who share the spir­it of the Island. Respon­dents may sub­mit pro­pos­als for the oper­a­tion of one or both loca­tions offered through this RFP, and must include food ser­vice in addi­tion to beverage.
