The Best Restaurants Delivering In Manhattan During Quarantine
Calling all NYC natives: just because you can’t visit the neighborhood’s slew of dining opinions doesn’t mean they can’t come to you. Quarantine may be ideal for experimenting in the kitchen, but in case you don’t feel like cooking, Manhattan’s finest restaurants are bringing the city cuisine straight to your home. Although wait times are fairly long (order at least 1-2 hours before you plan on eating), the feeling of nostalgia that stems from getting a taste of New York will be well worth it once your meal arrives. Indulge in fresh eats from the following dining spots that deliver to get a taste of the city’s best.
