Ando Expands its Delivery Range, Treats Truck Throws in the Towel, and More Intel

— David Chang’s smokin’ hot delivery-only restaurant Ando recently expanded its delivery zone to include chunks of Murray Hill and the Upper East Side. The delivery vortex now stretches from 72nd Street down to 36th Street, and from the East River over to Eighth Avenue. When Ando launched earlier this year, delivery was only available in Midtown East.

— Kim Ima is shutting down the Treats Truck for good next Wednesday, October 26. The pastry chef has not announced a reason for the closure, but she tells Gothamist: "I don't have someone groomed to take over. I wish I did!"

Ima plans to keep the Treat Truck’s catering wing open through the end of December.

Then comes uni, from Santa Barbara, Calif., when Mr. Bouhadana can get it, tasting like the ocean distilled into ice cream, and, in a crazed finale, uni over wagyu — layers of cool and warm, brine and earth."
