Where To Order Takeout In New York City

One of New York City’s best nights for restaurant reservations is also among the most chaotic for takeout. Perhaps the one night of the year New Yorkers prefer to stay in rather than go out, Super Bowl Sunday has millions ordering pizza, wings, tacos, local beer and many more game day snacks. And if you don’t plan ahead, well, you may be looking at dinner long after halftime—if you’re lucky.

Prepare for the Big Game by pre-ordering takeout specials to ensure you’re well satiated on Sunday, February 9. Here’s where to get Super Bowl specials in New York City:

Breads Bakery

Starting February 6 and running through February 9, Breads will offer plenty of thematic items for pickup and preorder. Think whole wheat bread shaped and cross-laced like a football and sourdough stenciled with the Eagles or Chiefs logo. Hosts can pick up buffalo cauliflower sliders on mini football-shaped whole wheat rolls, mini pretzel veggie sandwiches, mac and cheese with caramelized onions, a crudité platter with hummus and bleu cheese dips and more. $8 at up, breadsbakery.com

Amy Ruth’s

The legendary Harlem soul food restaurant now has a location at 39 West 14th Street and is offering catering and party platters.

Feed your crew with platters for eight to 100 people, with prices starting around $100 (prices vary based on size and items). For catering orders, call Sharon at 347-797-3442.
