Grand Opening for new Dining Hall food vendor

Medgar Evers College is excited to announce that our new food service provider, HBar Holdings, LLC (HBar), will officially begin serving the campus next week!

Starting Tuesday, November 5, 2024, HBar will hold a Grand Opening in our Dining Hall from noon to 4:00 p.m., with free food, coffee samples, and prizes.

We will also celebrate with an event on Election Night in the Bedford Café.

This opening marks the beginning of hot, fresh meals cooked right on campus for our community.

Founded in 2019 by a dynamic mother-daughter duo, HBar has catered to prominent clients like the NYC Board of Education and the U.S. Army. With the expertise of catering giants Samantha Polis and Andrew Walcott of Fusion East, HBar is bringing their talents to Medgar Evers College.

If you plan to use HBar for catered events, please note the following procedures:

• Contact HBar for menus and proposals (breakfast/lunch/dinner).
• A Purchase Order from MEC’s Purchasing Office or the CUNY Research Foundation is required to proceed with catering.
• Submit the proposed menu and pricing through the CUNYBuy Procurement system.
• Attach the quote and event flyer to your purchase requisition at least seven business days in advance.
• The vendor needs 48 hours for preparation, built into the Purchasing Office’s 7-day lead time.

Let us give HBar a warm welcome by following these guidelines to ensure smooth operations for everyone.

We look forward to seeing you at the Grand Opening and sampling some delicious meals.
