Gourmet Gift Baskets-Reasonably Priced
Hello:
I'm looking for a gourmet gift basket (food items) to give to work colleagues to share in an office. I'd like to get some nice items, but do not want to spend more than $100. Does anyone know of any stores in Manhattan that sell nice baskets?

I recently ordered a "salmon basket" from Eli's as a sympathy gift for a friend. http://www.elizabar.com/store-baskets2.html It was $100, included bagels, a loaf of Eli's "Health Bread," smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, onions and lemon, and I think also a jar of olives. Delivery was very little in Manhattan, but that may have something to do with the delivery being around the corner from the store.
I've also used Fairway catering for gift baskets, I don't like their gift baskets much, but the catering platters are gorgeous. But it would have to be for something where the food would be eaten on the spot. The cheese and dried fruit tray is extremely generously portioned, and has some great selections, it supposedly serves 10, but they would have to eat a whole lot for it to serve only 10. That runs $80 plus delivery charge. I ordered one for a meeting in my office, the meeting ran about half an hour and it was barely picked at...however, the leftovers were attacked in the office kitchen afterward. One of my colleagues, between blowing cracker crumbs out of her mouth said, "I LOVE corporate leftovers!" www.fairwarymarket.com look for the catering tab, and talk to Bonnie Langer, she's a hoot!
