Residents of MRK have the added luxury of a choice of nearby delicious eateries. Recognizing that now, more than ever, it’s important to support our local businesses, we’ve assembled this brief guide to stellar restaurants and services that are providing food delivery or pickup in the Journal Square neighborhood.
Let someone else cook dinner a few nights a week with grocery and meal delivery from WHEALTH. Subscribe for Sunday and Wednesday delivery and receive bulk prepped, organic, farm-fresh food and mix-and-match ingredients straight to your door. There’s no cooking (except for dishes involving eggs). Simply heat and eat. A subscription helps small local farms continue to thrive, and for every meal plan purchased, WHEALTH sends two meals back into the community to help those in need. Check out their website for current offerings.
Square 1 is a “community eatery” that emphasizes natural food and local agriculture. What easier way is there to show your community-mindedness and appease your hunger than by participating in their “Top 5 Saturdays,” where, from 9 am to 3 pm, they are offering some of their most popular meals (avocado toast, signature sandwiches, pancakes, arepas, and chorizo Manchego) for takeout? Check out their Instagram for “special menu item announcements” and consider supporting them by purchasing a gift card for future use or as a donation.
Sol Azteca Restaurant is still serving up Mexican food “with the real taste of Mexico” for delivery and pickup every day from 9 am to 10 pm. Extremely reasonably priced tamales, tacos, burritos, bowls, quesadillas, enchiladas, soups, and so much more will keep you well-fed and comforted, and you’ll have the added joy of knowing that you’re helping this Journal Square staple restaurant keep going.
