Seamless web

I'm sure you guys already know about it; but, since moving into Manhattan I have discovered the glory that is seamless web. So many eateries to choose from, they add in the tip for you and they save your credit card info. Takes 2 minutes to orders from zillions of different restaurants.

I didn't know about it, actually, so thanks for the tip. I've just been ordering old-school, from the couple of places whose menus I have in a pile in the kitchen.

I do already know about it. There's also Grub Hub, but I definitely use Seamless more often. I'm in Park Slope, though - so it's not borough-specific. :)

@neversleeps: really?! Nobody told me about this wondrous thing unti I was in Manhatts. Would have been delightful to know seeing as Williamsburg's delivery system left much for wanting.

Yeah really... It hasn't been that great for my waistline either; used to be that I would limit the ordering in because I never seem to have any cash on me, but Seamless eliminates the need for cash completely. I discovered it sometime last summer, but don't actually know how long its been around.

I just checked it out and there are noooo good Bushwick eats that deliver to me via Seamless Web. Guess I just have to keep doing thing the old fashioned way!

I didn't know anything about it. I rarely order out. I'll probably order out like two times a month. And when I do, there is a diner around the corner from me. I get free delivery. And the prices are reasonable.

Who charges for delivery these days? Does that still happen?

hhusted Feb 03, 2011

@BroadwayBK; Yeah, some places do. But not many. I don't know about Brooklyn, but there is a Chinese place near me that charges for delivery. You have to order at least $50 to get free delivery.

I feel like most places are free with maybe a delivery minimum that's pretty easy to hit. I had one smoothie delivered to me for free last week -- which was pretty awesome.

@JenMac: Smoothies. I love them, especially the tropical type.

Uraniumfish Feb 06, 2011

@JenMac How? Someone just brought you over a free smoothie?

NeverSleeps Feb 06, 2011

@BroadwayBK I think it's rare to see a delivery charge in the modern era, but as JenMac says there is always the minimum to consider. @JenMac Did you get it through one of those Seamless Web deals? I love those.
