Hosting Tips

Keep portions small, finger foods make cleanup easier in tight spaces
Use trays or platters that stack or travel well if you’re commuting
Pre-label foods with team-inspired names if you’re keeping things fun (ex: “Mets Mix,” “Bronx Heat Chili”)
Chill drinks the night before to avoid ice dilution
Don’t overcommit. Five or six of these recipes are more than enough for most small gatherings
