The newly launched WoodSpoon app connects customers with New York City’s best home chefs to deliver delicious homemade food across Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn. WoodSpoon is a new community-based, two-sided online platform that facilitates the process of ordering a variety of dishes from local cooks.

Diverse dishes available for purchase range from Salmon Sushi Bowls and Challah Bread, to Shakshuka Baguettes, Chicken Quesadillas, and everything in between.

The Cocktail Courier story began with a simple “what if” over a few delicious cocktails in Manhattan’s East Village in 2014. What if NYC’s very best bartenders could offer up every little ingredient that goes into making the world’s finest cocktails? What if every last ingredient I need (including garnish) could arrive in my kitchen? And what if they included a little card with step by step instructions (with big pictures!) so we could be toasting glasses in a matter of minutes? That’s how Cocktail Courier was born.

The very best professional bartenders from the very best bars and restaurants around the country compete for the privilege of having their recipe featured on Cocktail Courier. They offer a cocktail delivery service that includes all of the fresh ingredients and instructions needed to shake or stir professional quality cocktails in the comfort of your own home. They eliminate recipe and ingredient hunting by sending you a pre-packed kit along with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions, turning you into a professional bartender in a matter of minutes.
