Lessings was primarily a catering and restaurant management firm before it acquired the dining division of Next Generation Vending in January 2011, but it has a long foodservice history in the New York metro area. Founded in 1890 to serve the city’s coffee shops with products made in its commissary near Wall Street, it branched out into owning its own eateries and by the 1920 it was operating in some 20 locations, including the famous Woolworth Building.
