Despite everything going on in the world around us, one thing remains certain — we still need to eat. It’s understandable that going out to a sit-down meal at your favorite local restaurant may not be the most comforting option right now. However, restaurants and other small businesses are being affected big time by the inclination residents are feeling to stay in their homes. What we tend to forget is that many of our favorite spots provide that same comforting food delivered right to your door. You can get your favorite meal in the comfort of your home while also supporting your local favorites. Here’s a quick list of the Hoboken + Jersey City restaurants that are still offering delivery options for your favorite meals.
Please note: It was easiest for us to pull from GrubHub + Seamless, but if you know of other spots offering delivery, please comment on this post or email us at [email protected] so we can add in. We did not intentionally leave anyone out — we are just doing our best with limited staff at this time. Thank you!

Revised NYC Congestion Pricing Plan Takes Effect
Back in 2021, NYC’s ‘Congestion Pricing Plan’ was introduced — which planned an additional toll for commuters headed into New York City’s business hub, south of 60th Street. After pushback from NJ officials and residents, including NJ Governor Phil Murphy attempting to block the new toll, the plan was indefinitely halted in June of 2024. A revised plan of $9 to enter the congestion zone was announced by New York Governor Kathy Hochul in November 2024, and the plan officially went into effect on Sunday, January 5th, 2025 — despite New Jersey’s last-ditch effort to block the plan. Governor Hochul claims that the toll will be enough to raise $15 billion for the MTA. Click here for more.
