Manhattan Restaurants Offering Take Out & Delivery Options During COVID
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL RESTAURANT
As you probably know by now, all of NYC’s restaurants and bars are temporarily closed for dine-in service. Things are constantly quickly, but we do know that restaurants are getting into takeout and/or delivery, and others are offering new specials. Even though we can’t go to restaurants and eat there, we can support them (and eat something great) by ordering their food. I’ll keep updating this guide with more information as I get it, so stay tuned, and stay well.
In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, supporting our local restaurant community has never been more important. Uber Eats customers can now give directly to the restaurants they love at checkout. 100% will go to the restaurant. Order now to support whether it be through the restaurants’ website, Ubereats, Chownow, Seamless, or Grubhub.

Tomoe
Japanese, Sushi in Greenwich Village
There’s typically a line outside of this Greenwich Village sushi spot, mostly due to the fact that it’s in Greenwich Village, their sushi tastes great, and none of it costs too much. Now you can order that same sushi that people wait on the street for, right to your apartment by calling 212-777-9346
Shake Shack
If you live near the West Village Shake Shack, you can pick up their limited-edition steak frites (it’s a ribeye served with fries and watercress)

Pasta, Italian in Greenwich Village
Carbone is now doing delivery here. Yes, we know. We plan on ordering spicy rigatoni with vodka sauce to our apartments too.
Dante
American, Italian in Greenwich Village
We once saw Rami Malek on a date at Dante. It was an intimate scene and we were excited to witness it. Put on Mr. Robot while you drink one of Dante’s to-go negronis, and you’ll sort of know what we felt like in that moment. (Yes, you can be his date in this scenario).
Fiaschetteria Pistoia
In addition to full takeout menus, both of Fiaschetteria Pistoia’s locations are selling pasta kits with fresh dough for you to make at home.

Minetta Tavern
American, Burgers, Steaks in Greenwich Village
Imagine. You had a long, stressful day. The doorbell buzzes. Behold! A dry-aged ribeye patty and a sweet little mound of caramelized onions, all on a lightly toasted brioche bun. Yes, Minetta Tavern’s black label burger can be yours. All you have to do is call 212-475-3850 between 5 and 10pm.
