Where do you get takeout/delivery

[greenwich st]

Chelsea reminds me that we also like O Mai for delivery -- steamed bass, the monkfish and peanuts on cracker, the spring and summer rolls. They'll go down to the W. Village, though they occasionally get kind of pouty about it.

East Village

Often:

San Loco

Chickpea

The Malted Guy (Ray) on Ave A. and 7th St.

Less Often:

Punjabi

Angon

B&H

Moonstruck Diner

I would, but I just end up eating there instead:

Momofuku

Klong

Grand Sichuan

Kenka

Katz's

What's Missing:

Pizza. The East Village may be the city's worst neighborhood for slices.

Actually, Penn Station is terrible too.

Haven't found a neighborhood slice that I'm into. A couple borderline options on 1st. and A, but the places themselves are all unappealing to sit in, which is a hindrance. I was spoiled by Fascati in Brooklyn Heights. I used to like Five Roses, but it's 2 blocks too far.

Don't believe in delivery.

This thread has been very instructive so far.

Another question:

Do you also eat out at the places you get takeout or/and delivery from? I do, especially Teresa's, where I had dinner tonight.

Absolutely.

Congee Village probably once a week - we like it on Saturday or Sunday around 4 P.M. - not too crazy at that hour...as you know, it can be a real zoo.

Schiller's - probably too often! Much prefer eating there than delivery - great scene and scenery!!

As I'll be moving to Manhattan in about a month, I'm very curious about this topic-- anyone with any UES suggestions, please post them/pass them along!

Absolutely! I regularly call Saigon Grill for Vietnamese, Chef Ho's for Chinese, and Six Happiness for a delicious and figure-friendly steamed version of what I get at Chef Ho's.

For greasy diner food, I am a fan of Midnight Express and Viand. Better Burger is ok, but I'd rather have half an order of real fries than a whole order of "air-baked" ones.

Another good take-out secret is Eli's (or the Vinegar Factory - either one) for the sandwiches, prepared salads, soups and meals. Great if you have time to stop off on the way home. I usually grab a pickle from the pickle and olive bar, snag a tarragon chicken salad sandwich on the health bread, and enjoy on my couch.

Tribeca - wish I had more options...but alas here are our usuals

Bubby's for decent Mac n' cheese, good veggie bean chili, & tasty fried okra

Sosa Borella for Numero Uno Pizza & pasta specials

Landmarc for a ton of wonderful food like cod, steak, pork chops (by far our best option but $$$)

Nam for Bun Cha and lemongrass chicken

we order about 2-3x per week
