Of all the restaurants that make up the Eater 38, an elite collection of establishments that define the city’s dining scene, half are closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. But 25 are still standing, with many finding creative ways to offer takeout and delivery despite having limited staff and resources.

From old-school pastrami sandwiches from a longstanding Bronx icon and homey Indian fare in Long Island City to Peruvian-Japanese fare from a Greenwich Village hotspot and pizza from a Lower East Side cult favorite, these are the Eater 38 restaurants that remain open.

This map was originally published on April 24, 2020 and has been updated with more options.
