(Not catering this holiday? Save this list for the rest of your summer party needs: from graduations to the Fourth of July, you’re going to want to take advantage of these prepared meals at some point.) In alphabetical order:
Choose your own adventure with 167 Sushi Bar. Order platters of sushi (rolls, sashimi, nigiri or a combo) 24 hours in advance of your pick-up day. If you really want to go all out, 167 can provide off-site catering with sushi chefs rolling sushi for you and your guests.
