Might work in NY but then pretty much all of the restaurants deliver there.
When I lived there, most of my neighbors never or rarely cooked. The one
that ran a daycare did buy frozen chicken nuggets that she heated up. But
mostly people went to the grocery store for soda pop, bagels, fruit and
maybe snack foods. They alternated between pizza and Chinese delivery and
those places sent so much food, there would be enough for 2-3 days.
