Find beef noodle soup for takeout and delivery at Yumpling.

The city’s range of foods available for takeout and delivery has never been better. Restaurants that weren’t delivering before the pandemic started doing so as a means to survive. Some three years later, many have stuck around, while newer spots have incorporated takeout and delivery into their repertoire, exporting Taiwanese dumplings, California burritos, and other durable foods across the five boroughs.

Offering takeout and delivery is still a necessity for many businesses recovering from the pandemic. Tip your courier at least $5, and place an order over the phone or through a restaurant’s website, as opposed to a third-party delivery app, when possible.

Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; it may pose a risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial COVID transmission.

Electric Burrito
