The Foodie Magician’s Guide to NYC Take Out & Delivery
While we're all in favor of cooking a nourishing meal at home, we understand there are days when the only thing we're in the mood for is food prepared by someone else. To find out what spots a professional restaurant-goer is still hitting up for take out and delivery, we turned to none other than Josh Beckerman, aka The Foodie Magician, who in another world delighted audiences with food-centric magic tricks. From sushi to pizza to Thai food, his takeout list should satisfy whatever craving you have – not to mention, give you a way to support your favorite local businesses.
This East Village gem continues to serve delicious fresh sushi for a great price.

If you can get them to pick up the phone, the best pizza in America is now doing takeout (your best bet to getting one is to arrive early and put in an order in person).

Abraco
My favorite coffee shop does a $20 three-course meal that you can order online. Modeled after a restaurant's "family-meal" that a restaurant's staff eats before shift starts, the meal is vegetarian and amazing and changes every day.
