How to host the perfect outdoor party

By Niko Moulagianis, Niko's Bar & Gyros

For the enjoyment of guests and the sanity of the hosts, the best summer parties must have the following elements:

• Easy, efficient set-up. Excruciating planning and long complex setups can take the fun out of the party before it even starts.

• Sensational food. Think of your rides home from other people’s parties. Chances are the first comments—good or bad—were about the food. It’s what people will remember. Unless the host’s drunken relative made a spectacle of him- or herself. Then the food comments come second. 

• Engaging entertainment. Keep people occupied. Nobody wants to host a party where zombified guests are sitting around looking at their watches. Give them something to do.

• Quick cleanup. Hosts are exhausted at the end of a party. Cleanup is the last thing they want to do.

A fully equipped food truck, like Niko’s Catering Truck, provides the elements for the perfect party. Very little set up is required. The truck rolls in with delicious food and a full bar with four beer taps. The staff does all the work and brings an entertaining 55-inch LED flat screen with satellite system and music system with electric awning and LED lighting. 

When the party is over, the truck goes away. Cleanup is left to a minimum.

A food truck is ideal for weddings, graduations and all backyard events.

Niko’s Catering Truck features an all-you-can-eat gyro bar, priced per person, and a craft beer truck package featuring four of your favorite craft draft beers on tap—also priced per person. Those packages can be bundled.
