It’s not an easy time for restaurants; most of them in New York have temporarily closed, an important measure to help curb the spread of COVID-19 in NYC. But many are also opting to stay open in hopes of bringing in some revenue to cover costs such as rent and taxes, while others are using it as a way to employ a few staffers.

Here are some of the favorite places of Eater staffers that are still offering takeout or delivery to some extent. It’s not an exhaustive list — check in on the Instagrams and websites of your favorites, too — and details such as hours and menu items may change, as restaurateurs adapt to reduced business and a new business model.

Remember to tip well and call before using a delivery platform such as Seamless or Caviar, which comes with hefty fees for consumers and restaurants.

Note: This map is an updated version of one originally published on March 23.

Staffers who contributed to this compendium include Erika Adams, Emma Alpern, Matt Buchanan, Sonia Chopra, Terri Ciccone, Serena Dai, Patty Diez, Brittany Holloway-Brown, Luke Fortney, Amanda Kludt, Jaya Saxena, Robert Sietsema, Ryan Sutton, and Tanay Warerkar.

Bolivian Llama Party

When this Bolivian counter appeared at the Turnstyle Market in the passage that led to the Columbus Circle subway station, it caused a sensation with its meat stew-filled turnovers.

For now, only the saltenas are available for bulk orders by DMing the business on Instagram or by texting SALTENA to 347-395-5481.
