In the city that never sleeps, it’s all about saving time. Maybe that’s why New Yorkers depend on Seamless, Uber, Amazon and other on-demand delivery services for everything from dinner to a ride home from the club.
With so many services competing for customers, the delivery possibilities are endless. In less than an hour, you can get your favorite Indian food, a brand new computer or a $3,500 bottle of liquor delivered right to your door. Some services, like Everlane Now, are just that fast; others, like Amazon Prime Now and FoodKick by Fresh Direct, require you to pay a little extra for guaranteed one-hour delivery. Here’s the best (and weirdest) stuff you can get dropped on your doorstep in under an hour.
