Delivery or takeout, New City is a consistently good experience. The food is fresh, well prepared, & reasonably priced. Their delivery is remarkably fast. The food is really tasty.
What's more, I had the opportunity to discover that they operate the business with real integrity. Let me explain. Once--awhile back, I ordered via GrubHub and paid with a card.

Boneless spare ribs were good. General Tso's chicken was flavorless & the rice was dreadful (not sure how you mess up rice). So ... I'm glad I went here. Totally a one & done place - absolutely no...
