Gorillas

While some delivery services specialize in groceries or restaurant meals, Gorillas keeps it simple—just the essentials, delivered fast. Tucked along Broadway near 104th Street, this spot operates in a neighborhood where convenience is currency. No frills, no lengthy menus, just a delivery service that moves with the pace of the Upper West Side. Need something quick? They’re a call away, though you won’t find a public number listed—orders run through the app. The address, 2681 Broadway, New York, NY 10025, puts it within easy reach of Columbia’s campus and the morning rush toward Riverside Park.

Delivery services in this part of Manhattan tend to blur together, but the name sticks out—partly because it’s short, partly because it’s direct. No promises of artisanal anything, just the basics: household items, snacks, maybe a last-minute bottle of wine. The area’s dense with students and long-term renters, so speed matters more than selection here. For the exact location and how to route around the 1 train’s perpetual construction, the map cuts through the guesswork. A no-nonsense option when the bodega’s closed and the walk to Trader Joe’s feels like a hike.
