A popular ride sharing service will now also deliver food directly to your doorstep.
Uber announced this morning that it has expanded its UberEATS app in to Queens for the first time, covering Astoria, Long Island City, and Sunnyside.
The app has partnered with 30 local restaurants, and will deliver food ordered through the UberEATS app or on their website, expanding the reach of certain restaurants in to new neighborhoods.
The service is available from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. every day, and carries a $2.99 delivery fee, but similarly to the ridesharing service, tipping is not required and users can rate their experience after delivery.
In celebration of the expansion in to Queens, Uber is offering $15 off of the first order through the app until next Monday, using the code LETSEATQNS15.
A spokesperson for the company did not answer questions regarding the expected amount of use of the app in the area or future plans for expansion, but only referred to the FAQ page on the company website.

- Buttercup Bakeshop

Ill stick to old fashioned calling up and ordering. I find if you take good care of your normal delivery guy they make sure they take care of you first. Why fix whats not broke
good point about their mode of transportation. Can SP find out?
Are they promoting or employing ebikes or regular bikes riding on sidewalks to deliver these?
Add williamsburger on greenpoint they are by far the best burger in queens.
Still can’t get a bagel worth eating.
Try getting Butcher Block in Sunnyside
Lenny’s Pizza in Sunnyside
Butcher block delivers.
A non-catering portion to Sunnyside? Great!
Yes. You order anything from them and they’ll do a delivery.
