This Week’s At Home Hit List: Pastis, Oxomoco, Peter Luger, and More

Because you can’t go to Paris, but you can have Pastis at home. Order up some hors d’oeuvres (think shrimp cocktail and escargots) for cocktail hour or spring for a steak sandwich or croque monsieur. Call (212) 929-4844 for takeout or get delivery online. Full menu here.

Because while your apartment might not be as bright and airy as Oxomoco, you could easily maximize its vibe with a spicy tamarind margarita and some beet “chorizo” tacos or a short rib guisados burrito. It’s not every day you get to feast on Michelin-starred Mexican food on the couch or your fire escape. Order here.

Because for the first time since the steakhouse was established in 1887, Luger is doing delivery— and offering the famed burger during lunch hours. Porterhouses come cooked or raw, so take your pick. Ring them up at 718-387-7400 or head to Caviar. 

Oh, and just this week, Luger launched its online butcher shop — shipping steaks, burgers, and its thick-cut bacon nationally.

Because this cozy Fort Greene locale is back to doing what it does best: serving the neighborhood. From Wednesday through Sunday, 12–9 p.m., Roman’s offers a seasonal menu of heartwarming Italian fare (ramp ravioli, meatball subs, and something special coming soon), plus signature daily sours and bitters — in both single and family sizes. Place pickup orders here. 

Because Golden Diner embraces its all-American concept in all of the right ways. Case in point: kale and parmesan biscuits and gravy, honey-butter pancakes, chicken katsu clubs, Thai Cobb salads, and Bloody SojuMarys are all on the to-go menu.

Because late May calls for barbecue, and Hometown makes some of the very best. They’ve got beef ribs, spicy Vietnamese-style wings, pulled pork, creamy mac and cheese, cans of High Life, rosé pet-nat, and plenty more. Delivery is available if you live in or around Red Hook, otherwise you can pick-up, take home, and enjoy. Find your options here. 

Because it’s never not a good idea to get jerk from Peppa’s. They make finger-linking chicken that’s equal parts juicy, tangy, and spicy as well as sides ranging from Jamaican festival donuts to delicious steam cabbage. Pro Tip: order a large so you’ll have leftovers when you’re craving it again tomorrow. And be careful with that scotch bonnet hot sauce. More info here.

Because have yourself a dip party with the help of Miss Ada. Scoop up whipped ricotta, housemade labneh, merguez hummus, and babaganoush with freshly baked pita and crunchy crudite. And for dessert? Babka. Order here. 

Because even in a pandemic, some things never change, like the Odeon’s yellowfin tuna burger and country frisée salad. Add an extra dose of classic comfort by opting for a pint of Odeon ice cream and a side of hot fudge. Order takeout or delivery here or download the Odeon delivery app. 

Because do right by your fridge by stocking it with a pint of kimchi, a quart of rice cakes, and a thing of galbi marinade, all crafted in the kitchen of Insa. While you’re at it, a bowl of bibimbap or a whole Korean fried chicken would be great choices for dinner. Order takeout or delivery.

Because Memorial Day is the first official day of ice cream cone season, and Morgenstern’s delivers. 88 flavors to be exact. Maybe you’re in the mood to celebrate? Order 48 hours in advance for ice cream cakes like salted caramel pretzel and Vietnamese coffee. Email info@morgensternsnyc.com with your requests.
