The following post is from our advertiser, GrubHub.
What could be better than a food festival that delivers to wherever you are? Okay, probably a lot of things - sex, robots, sexy robots, etc. But, anyway, let’s agree on this - a delivery-based food fest would be a big step up from those standard tent-and-porta-potty circuses that you’re used to. So we made one.
GrubHub’s first-ever Digital Food Fest starts tomorrow at 12 p.m. with a special kickoff event at Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream’s East 7th Street location as well as at their ice cream truck location over on West 12th and Washington. You’ll be able to get a scrumptious scoop of ice cream for just one penny when you order through GrubHub.com or our mobile app for iPhone or Android.
From there, we make our way across the city like some strange hybrid of a traveling circus and a star-studded culinary jamboree, providing you with 4 weeks of exclusive deliveries from some of the Big Apple’s best spots - DuMont Burger burger and fries for next-to-nothing, Katz’s first delivery in 188 years, H&H Bagels’ very welcome return and so on.
All the specifics live on our Facebook page, so head that direction to find out which restaurants and specials are on offer for a given week. Up-to-the-second details will be tweeted by @grubhub using hashtag #digitalfoodfest. Each exclusive is available in limited quantities and bound by delivery area, so stay tuned for the when and the where.
Now let’s go check out that Facebook page and get ready for some ice cream, okay?
