The COVID-19 quarantine is hitting everyone hard. Whether it’s not being able to get a paycheck or going stir crazy from all the social distancing, this pandemic has proven to be one of the most difficult things New Yorkers have ever had to face.

Of the hardest-hit sectors, our beloved local restaurants are towards the top of that list. From humble greasy spoons to five-star establishments, everyone is batting the repercussions of not being able to dine out.

But fear not! In an effort to remain operational while still catering to their customers, there are a number of eateries who still have their kitchens fired up and deliver their restaurant-quality food to quarantined New Yorkers. 

Here are some spots that you can treat yourself to a fantastic meal without having to leave your home.

A quaint little mom & pop spot (without the pop), Oregano has been serving their Neapolitan style pizzas and tailor-made pasta dishes to Williamsburg for years now. 

Their pasta is made in house and fresh daily, and include options like squid ink fettuccine with lobster and all-American classics like a hearty lasagna. Oregano is a home away from home, where you’re treated like your grandma is cooking dinner for you from scratch. Order online here.
