D.C. restaurants mastered the art of takeout and delivery during the pandemic as a means to survive. Nearly three years later, many have kept up to-go capabilities, while newer places have incorporated delivery into business models from the start. As a result, the range of food options to enjoy at home is wider than ever before.

Offering takeout and delivery is still a necessity for many area establishments still in recovery mode. Remember to tip your courier at least $5, and place an order over the phone or through a restaurant’s website, as opposed to a third-party delivery app, whenever possible.
