Rhona Silver (August, 1951 – November 6, 2017 [1]) was an American businesswoman in the catering industry. [6] Until 2007, she owned a large catering hall, Huntington Townhouse, on Long Island. [7] [3] [8] She was co-founder of an internet-based catering company that connects anyone planning a party or event with local caterers. [9]
Rhona Silver was inclined towards the catering business from an early age as her father was a caterer in the Bronx, where she was born. [1] [2] [5] Al Silver catered at the Pelham Parkway Jewish Center and, after moving to Long Island, became the caterer at the East Meadow Jewish Center.[ citation needed] She attended Hofstra University School of Law from 1978 to 1980 before taking up catering as a full-time profession.

Silver started with a small catering company which gradually spread to a few cities. In 1997, she purchased Huntington Townhouse, a 148,000-square-foot catering hall, for $7.6 million. [10] [11] She sold it in 2007; [3] however, Silver was subsequently sued by Douglas Elliman Real Estate for commissions on the sale and by her half-brother who claimed he had owned half of the site. [1] In response, Silver sued her former boyfriend, Barry Newman, whom she alleged had organized the sale deal. The case was still in court at the time of her death. [1]
By 2011, Silver and two of her children launched CaterBid.com, an online venue to obtain quotes for event services from multiple suppliers. [9]
