Eating in NYC During and After the Coronavirus Crisis

Food is one of the prime necessities in life, and it’s not always there for us. We are witnessing this in front of our own eyes, as the coronavirus crisis intensifies, bringing so many cities across the U.S and the world, including New York, into lockdown. We love to eat good food, not just to get the energy to go through our busy days. We love to eat good food so we can smile a little, reflect on the good days, share a moment, be happy. People love to rejoice with food. There is therefore no denying the fact that food unites people, especially in these dark days. 

If you’re stuck at home in self-quarantine, tired of going to the groceries and cooking every day, you can check out the following delivery options. At the end of the post – we added a few of our restaurant picks for the day after. When we’ll all go back to our normal lives. It will eventually happen, you can count on it…
