Working from home? Pick up your food here

Updated May 30: Thanks to everyone who has reached out via comments and DMs! Added JSQ Lounge, The LoDG, Milk and Cream, The Lutze, Mathews, and more.

This post is dedicated for food delivery and pickup in Jersey City. We’re updating it frequently as we hear from readers and restaurant owners. I’ve also created a special Highlight on the JC Upfront Instagram listing all the spots, food trucks, shops, etc. that are currently open in Jersey City.

To help lessen the spread of coronavirus in Jersey City, restaurants and cafes are being mandated to switch to a takeout or delivery only format.

If you’re working from home, hate cooking, want to support local, or all above the above — here are a handful of businesses offering pick-up/delivery services. News is changing rapidly, but we’ll try to update this post at least once per day. If you’re a local small business, restaurant owner, dog walker, etc. — let me know how we can help. (DM or shoot me an e-mail. If I don’t reply within 24 hours, please reach out again.)
