Living within a hop, skip, and a Metro-North ride of The Big Apple certainly has its perks — for work, play, and everything in between — and although you may not miss the hustle and bustle, you might be yearning for your old favorites from NYC’s restaurants, cafes, and markets of all cuisines.

Antonio’s Trattoria

At this authentic Italian eatery located in Little Italy of the Bronx, dishes are cooked with love.

The catering menu is extensive, and crowd-pleasing family trays can be at your doorstep faster than you can say grazie mille.Â
Ess a Bagel

Hankering for a classic New York bagel? This Manhattan mainstay is delivering family bagel packages to the burbs, and the only trick is deciding which schmear to put on top. With a cream cheese line up ranging from sweet (think: apple cinnamon and banana nut) to savory (sun-dried tomato and olive tofu), the options are endless, though there’s sure to be something for everyone.Â

Either way, there’s reason to get excited: trendy Smith favorites delivered straight to your door, ready to heat and eat.Â
