The NYC (Quarantine) Dinner & A Movie Guide added to Google Docs

The NYC (Quarantine) Dinner & A Movie Guide

Dinner and a movie has meant different things at different times. In junior high, it meant being dropped off at a movie theater, eating a pan pizza with Milk Duds, and holding hands with someone until our palms developed their own microclimates. More recently, it meant hanging out with a friend who was too tired to go out out, or realizing that, like your kids, you also know Frozen 2 by heart. Now, for just about anyone with a TV, movie night is the norm. Because let’s face it, there isn’t much else to do. So we’re here to make sure you’re doing dinner and a movie right. Below, you’ll find our picks for great delivery, and a classic movie to pair with it. We’ll be updating this regularly.

All restaurants featured on The Infatuation are selected by our editorial team. The NYC (Quarantine) Dinner & A Movie Guide is presented by Uber Eats. In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, supporting our local restaurant community has never been more important. Uber Eats customers can now give directly to the restaurants they love at checkout. 100% will go to the restaurant. Order now to support. See app for details.

Featured In The Ultimate NYC Delivery & Takeout Guide See all our guides the spots Contra $ $ $ $ American in Lower East Side $$$$ 138 Orchard St. 8.6 /10

Movie Pairing: Booksmart (Hulu)

“Booksmart is a fun and deeply enjoyable movie that I could easily watch weekly, but it does feature many things you cannot currently do, such as: stopping by an elaborate murder mystery party, going to a teen rager at someone’s aunt’s empty house, attending a high school graduation, and having a sleepover at your best friend’s house. Sorry if that’s depressing. As an antidote, I recommend pairing this with the novelty of a delivery option that doesn’t exist in normal times, like “Contrair,” the Contra/Wildair delivery pop-up. They’re doing great-sounding dishes like waygu steak salad, toasted rice ribs, and golden crab congee, and you can get a bottle of wine to go with it as well.” -HR

Teddy Wolff Hwa Yuan $ $ $ $ Chinese in Chinatown $$$$ 42 E Broadway 8.3 /10

Movie Pairing: My Cousin Vinny (Prime)

“If you’ve never seen this courtroom comedy, it’s worth watching for Marisa Tomei’s monologues alone (0:59:26, 1:05:30, and especially 1:42:27 are your sweet spots). Could you just Youtube “Marisa Tomei My Cousin Vinny?” Yes, you could, but then you’d miss out on all of the tasty drama that unfolds when a college kid accidentally shoplifts a can of tuna. If, like me, you’re also sick of canned tuna right now, order some Chinese food. It’s all Tomei’s character Lisa Vito seems to crave, even in rural Alabama, and she’d be proud of you. I’d go with soup dumplings and crispy beef from Hwa Yuan.” -AS

Mekelburg’s $ $ $ $ American , Bar Food , Sandwiches in Brooklyn , Williamsburg $$$$ 325 Kent Ave 8.3 /10

Movie Pairing: Up (Prime)

“While my Dachshund-Jack Russell, Gus, may not be as articulate as Dug from Up, we’re still able to come to some basic understandings. Namely, this is his house, and I’m just living in it. As such, I intend to keep him happy. A good way to do that is to feed him food that he has no business eating, like wagyu roast beef or part of a duck banh mi from Mekelburg’s. Little does he know, it doesn’t require much of a sacrifice because overordering is pretty much a given here. This Williamsburg spot also delivers dog food (and other groceries), but Gus has made it clear that he prefers dry-aged burger meat, tracking it tirelessly from door to couch, only occasionally getting distracted by ‘squirrel!’” -MT

Teddy Wolff Archie's Bar & Pizza $ $ $ $ Bar Food , Pizza in Bushwick $$$$ 128 Central Ave 7.7 /10

Movie Pairing: Fleabag (Prime - the proceeds go to a British fundraiser for healthcare workers and artists)

“Whether or not you’ve already been indoctrinated into the holy church of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, you should spend 75 minutes of your now-monotonous life watching the original stage version of Fleabag on Amazon. It’s a one-woman show, so all you’ll get is Phoebe, a chair, an excellent red knit sweater, and the occasional voiceover. But it’s just as mesmerizing and painful as (if not slightly raunchier and more impressive than) the TV series. Order something warm and messy to match Fleabag, like a thick, cheesy pizza from Archie’s. Also, if you don’t want to eat dinner while you ponder the artform of taking sexy pictures of one’s vagina in a handicap bathroom stall or hear about guinea pigs with erasers up their butts, we’d recommend eating towards the beginning of the show or maybe just growing up a little. You’re going to love it.” -HA

Order delivery Emily Schindler Katz's Deli $ $ $ $ Sandwiches , Deli in Lower East Side $$$$ 205 E. Houston St. 8.2 /10

Movie Pairing: When Harry Met Sally (Prime)

“Listen, now is not the time to watch something new. I’m leaning hard into the cinematic equivalent of comfort food, and for me, When Harry Met Sally is as comfortable as the many perfect ’80s sweaters worn in this film. As an added bonus (or maybe a risk, depending on your current emotional status), it will also transport you to a simpler, happier, rom-com-ier version of New York City. In honor of this movie’s most iconic scene, the correct delivery pairing here is obviously Katz’s Deli, where it was filmed. Pastrami sandwiches and fake orgasms for everyone.” -KL

Order delivery Joyface $ $ $ $ East Village $$$$ 104 Avenue C

Movie Pairing: The Last Days Of Disco (Prime)

“I’ve seen The Last Days of Disco so many times. It’s probably unhealthy. But right now, it’s exactly what you need. As the title suggests, this movie is about the early-’80s disco scene in New York, and I assume it’s not very historically accurate. Still, you get to see NYC (a nice change from the inside of your apartment), and the soundtrack is full of songs that are scientifically classified as ‘bangers.’ Just listen to ‘Doctor’s Orders’ by Carol Douglas, and try not to dance. The obvious pairing for this movie is a Disco Kit from Joyface (which includes 12 cocktails and a disco ball), but if you don’t want to spend $165 on a party for one at your apartment, get a bunch of chicken fingers from Sticky’s. And find some vodka, or something.” -BK

Taste Of NY Nowon $ $ $ $ Korean in East Village $$$$ 507 E 6th St Not

Movie Pairing: Good Burger (Netflix)

“If you need 95 minutes of pure joy right now, watch Good Burger. Kenan & Kel are in their comedic prime, Carmen Electra’s stunt double shows promise, and the slapstick sound effects elevate the film from ‘poorly-acted suburban adventure’ to a nostalgic ’90s treasure. But I have to admit that none of the food in this film about two competing fast-food joints seems evenly remotely edible - except for Ed’s secret sauce, which I’ve wanted to try since I was eight years old. It looks a lot like the kimchi mayo on Nowon’s elusive double cheeseburger, which is now readily available for delivery and takeout online. If you want to get one for your own Good Burger screening, I recommend springing for two - that way you won’t have to spend 90 minutes of the film regretting how quickly you ate the first one.” -ND

Hao Noodle & Tea $ $ $ $ Chinese in West Village $$$$ 401 Avenue of the Americas 7.3 /10

Movie Pairing: The Farewell (Prime)

“In The Farewell, Awkwafina’s character Billi travels from her home in the U.S. to her family’s house in northern China, to say goodbye to her grandmother who is unaware of her own terminal cancer diagnosis. It’s a poignant story about family and loss and living far away from people you wish you could see more, but it’s also very funny. And what feels like at least half the movie’s most important scenes take place over a meal. To eat along accordingly, I’d order a bunch of food from Hao Noodle, which is the New York outpost of a restaurant group in China. Definitely get the Le Shan Chicken and any of the noodle dishes.” -HR

Noah Devereaux Raku $ $ $ $ Japanese in SoHo $$$$ 48 Macdougal St 8.1 /10

Movie Pairing: The Darjeeling Limited (HBO)

“Dysfunctional families and monogrammed luggage are Wes Anderson’s bread and butter. In The Darjeeling Limited, three estranged brothers traverse India in search of their mother who abandoned them to become a nun. In short, the brothers are stuck on a train with an 11-piece set of their dead dad’s luggage. Everyone has annoying quirks (like laminating daily itineraries and repeatedly listening to an ex-girlfriend’s answering machine), but surely nothing can top whatever microaggressions are bubbling up in your current quarantine situation. So when the person you’re holed up with asks if you’re really going to make quesadillas again, order some udon from Raku (it’s hard to nag while slurping), put this movie on, and feel understood.” -AS

Order delivery Black Swan $ $ $ $ Bar Food in Bedford-Stuyvesant , Brooklyn $$$$ 1048 Bedford Ave Not

Movie Pairing: A Matter Of Life And Death (YouTube)

“This movie is so goddamn sweet, and David Niven - with his pencil mustache and wispy baby hair - is a f*cking treasure. So steal some mascara from your roommate, apply a healthy amount, and let it run down your face as Niven’s young British pilot falls in love with an American radio operator, then goes to heaven and argues for his right to remain among living. As a food pairing, I’d go with some Maltesers, several bags of Monster Munch, and a crispy fish sandwich from the Black Swan, an exceptional English pub in Bed-Stuy.” -BK

Order delivery Noah Devereaux Bamonte's $ $ $ $ Italian in Williamsburg $$$$ 32 Withers St. 7.7 /10

Movie Pairing: Moonstruck (Prime)

“Is it just me or is everyone revisiting Moonstruck right now? I also recently hopped on this unhinged Cher-And-Nicolas-Cage train, and my only regret is that I didn’t pair it with Italian food. There’s so much about this movie that just does not make sense (basically every dialogue scene, the idea that Cher would be engaged to a total doofus, the plot itself, etc.) - but if there’s one thing that makes it feel relatable, it’s how good and comforting all of the food looks. Which is exactly why you shouldn’t watch Moonstruck without some pasta of your own in front of you - I’d go with Frankie’s 457, or for an even more classic choice (to go with such a classic film), Bamonte’s.” -KL

Emily Schindler Somtum Der $ $ $ $ Thai in East Village $$$$ 85 Avenue A 7.6 /10

Movie Pairing: Clue The Movie (Prime)

“Would you like to scream with the fervor of a 1940s film noir actress? We say go for it. Great, now that that’s out of the way, continue your cathartic and mysterious evening with Clue The Movie. About 50% of the dialogue in this cinematic masterpiece is shrieked rather than spoken, and it goes nicely with spicy papaya salad and larb moo from Som Tum Der. No matter how many times you’ve seen Mrs. Peacock and the gang run around a spooky mansion, you’ll always find new ways to be confused by the blackmail scheme. Not to mention, young Tim Curry is an absolute fox.” -HA

Marea $ $ $ $ Seafood , Italian in Columbus Circle , Midtown $$$$ 240 Central Park S. 8.8 /10

Movie Pairing: Point Break (Hulu)

“When Bodhi falls backwards out of the airplane and tells Johnny Utah, ‘Adios amigo,’ that really is Patrick Swayze making the jump. And when Keanu screams “F*ck it!” and jumps out after him without a parachute, cinema reaches a height that I’m not sure can ever be matched. It’s not just the raw drama - this is the culmination of Johnny Utah’s character development, from straight-laced Ohio State quarterback to night-surfing adrenaline junkie. To fully appreciate this turf-to-surf progression, order the fusilli from Marea in Midtown. The bone marrow matches Johnny’s midwestern sensibilities, while the octopus is briny enough to make you feel like you could be beachside with Bodhi and Anthony Kiedis (yes, of course the Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman is in this masterpiece).” -MT

Order delivery Cafe Rue Dix $ $ $ $ French , West African in Brooklyn , Crown Heights $$$$ 1451 Bedford Ave Not

Movie Pairing: Atlantics (Netflix)

“Atlantics is a horror drama about a bunch of girlfriends who are possessed by the spirits of their dead boyfriends. Seeing the iridescent glow in the eyes of these zombified young women as they haunt the streets of Dakar both mesmerize and terrify me. That’s exactly why I wish I had ordered a plate of mafe from Cafe Rue Dix online while watching this film. The Senegalese spicy beef stew in peanut butter sauce is so creamy and vibrant, I sometimes feel like it’s taking over my body. It’s probably just the spirit of the cow telling me to eat less meat.” -ND
