by New York Bucket List

Β 

The Brooklyn Nets locked up the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference for the 2021 NBA Playoffsβ€”and DoorDash has you absolutely covered on delivery options so you don’t miss a moment of any  game. 

Whether you’re looking for a party platter of sliders or tacos to share with your crew, decadent personal meals to sweeten the wins, or even all natural/vegan options, we’ve compiled the top eateries to have delivered to your door this season. 

Pies β€˜N’ Thighs

Let’s start with a local legend: the world-famous Pies β€˜N’ Thighs fried chicken and pie. This iconic dish was featured  on DDD’s β€œDecadent Dishes,” listed among Food & Wine’s β€œBest Fried Chicken in the US,” and called the β€œBest Southern Restaurant in New York” by Grub Street. You can split one of their slider platters if you’re watching with a crew... or order a three-piece box of chicken and a slice of their boozy pecan pies to confirm the rave reviews for yourself.

Can’t get enough of southern comfort food? Keep the party going with Peaches HotHouse, recently featured on Food Network’s Unique Eats. Their Hot Chicken is the star of the show, combining spicy dry rub with a signature sauce, but the catfish, creole shrimp and grits, and fried green tomatoes all make worthy contenders.

Empanada City

Empanada City’s smoothies, desserts and (of course) empanadas became a local favorite quickly after its 2017 opening. So quickly, in fact, that  they opened a second location in Bushwick in May 2020. Their empanadas are infused with the spices and flavors from the family owner’s combined Puerto Rican and Dominican heritageβ€”and filled with different blends of meats, cheeses, vegetables, and fruit. For added obsession, you can enjoy them with one three homemade dipping sauces.

Warude makes every effort to use organic ingredients that are as close as possible to their most natural forms. While they specialize in japanese bowls and world-fusion tacos, the other magic ingredient in every WARUDE recipe is the tradition of Japanese home cooking.

Born on the sunny beaches of the Yucatan, Tacombi started serving tacos out of a converted VW bus. Now the New York favorite shares authentic Mexican tacos from multiple neighborhood taquerias. Order one of their burritos filled with marinated, slow-roasted meat or freshly caught fish, and add either their agua fresca or cΓ³ctelesβ€”all made in-house daily.

Korean Soul Food + Ramen = happy customers. In Korea, eating noodles on-the-go is part of everyday life. Mŏkbar also proudly serves Korean β€œAnju”—or shareable small platesβ€”typically served with ice cold Beer and Soju, a perfect pairing for game day with a group.

Arguably the classic choice for watching a gameβ€”you can’t go wrong with wings. But Brooklyn Wing House doesn’t skimp on creativity. For a twist on the classic chicken and waffles, choose from red velvet or white chocolate and macadamia nut waffle flavors. Add a mango or passion fruit lemonade to wash it all down.
