When the weather warms up and all you want to do is head to Central Park, bringing along the right picnic food is an art. Impress your crew with an order from the preeminent (and only) Ghanaian restaurant in town for shareable delights like jollof rice, fried whiting, and turkey wings and tails, along with classic soul food sides like mac and cheese, fried yams, and collard greens. And if you see the sometimes-on-the-menu oxtails, make sure to add that to the list. Wash it all down with ginger beer and sorrel.

Dining on authentic Shanghai cooking at your own home is possible — even if you’re not adept at cooking. Yaso Tangbao, which now has three locations in NYC, cooks up signature dishes ideal for kids and adults, like sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed or pan-fried bao buns with various fillings, and of course their namesake, gigantic yaso tangbao: soup-filled dumplings that will warm you from the inside out. Family dinner just got a lot more fun.

This NYC mini-chain is many New Yorkers’ go-to spot for comfy vibes and lots of veggie and health-focused shareable plates that won’t break the bank. Perfect for a post-spin class healthy lunch for you and your workout crew, Westville’s menu lets you choose from their long list of Market Sides — dozens of seasonal vegetables prepared in a variety of ways— and proteins like grilled salmon and skirt steak. And if you do want to indulge in mac and cheese and truffle fries … well, you earned it.

Having your neighbors over for a board game night? The best dishes are those easily shared, and chef and co-founder Eden Grinshpan delivers (literally!) with creamy dips, salads, and roasted vegetables served with fluffy pitas. To satisfy even the hungriest in the bunch, add on the chicken jeweled rice bowl with saffron rice or the Moroccan lamb meatballs bowl served atop couscous. Seal the deal with some chocolate tahini walnut sea salt cookies and rose turmeric shortbread and at least you’ll be a winning host — even if you aren’t a Trivial Pursuit champion.

Wow all the parents at your child’s next birthday party by ordering high-quality pies from this pizza joint that mills its own flour and only uses fresh tomatoes in its sauce. Uber Eats will deliver New York style, thick Sicilian, or pan pizza, plus they offer vegan pizza for the kiddos who can’t eat dairy.

No need to brave long waits and shout over noisy fellow diners. Instead, have a romantic night in without lifting a finger. Impress your boo by ordering Italian specialties via Uber Eats from one of the chicest spots in the city, and you can dine on epicurean dishes like tuna carpaccio with artichokes and veal chop with roasted mushrooms. And don’t sleep on the pasta — the pasta alla Norma and gnochetti Sardi are persuasive arguments for never boiling spaghetti again.

Chef Esther Choi takes inspiration from her grandmother at her Korean restaurant, so you know the food is sure to have that healing touch. If someone in your house is feeling under the weather, order one of the six varieties of ramen like gochujang pork, roasted ginger chicken, or vegan miso. Non-soup dishes include housemade mandu (dumplings with beef, pork, or glass noodles and tofu filling), rib-eye bulgogi, and bibimbap. Be sure to add on a side of Choi’s homemade kimchi, which comes in varieties like the classic Napa cabbage, daikon, and stewed bacon.

Watching the game just got a little more gourmet, thanks to upscale Mexican dishes from chef Akhtar Nawab brought right to your door — no getting up from the couch necessary. You and your friends can cheer on the home team by dunking plantain chips in bubbling queso fundido, dipping tortilla tostadas into chunky guac, or swiping yucca tator tots with black garlic aioli. Add some tacos filled with steak, roasted mahi mahi, or tempura shrimp, Mexican Coca-Cola lamb ribs, and the understandably popular pumpkin blossom quesadilla and you’ll have plenty of energy to yell at the ref. Score!
