“AMICO is going to be offering steamed crabs and beer to be delivered in the DC area (3 miles radius from AMICO – 917 V Street NW)
The first crab delivery will be fulfilled NEXT WEEKEND – April 11th, 12th.
It’s pretty simple: crabs, beers, potato salad, picklebacks.
Crab cracker and a mallet will be included.
Order via phone Monday through Thursday from noon to 5pm (202-285-3467) or any time starting now via email ([email protected]) and have the crabs delivered by next Sat/Sun Noon – 5pm.

“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you have heard of any DC restaurants that will be making traditional Easter meals for pick-up/delivery? I was planning to cook myself, but would love to support a local restaurant if possible!”
and
“I was wondering if you’ve seen any restaurants advertising Passover dinners for delivery? I saw Call Your Mother has one for pick up but we were wondering if places like Sababa would be doing anything for the holiday next week.”

Three very specific requests I got @PoPville on our twitter so if anyone knows I’m down with some of that good stuff too. Remember, daily cheese breaks make working from home so much better. While we’re asking very specific requests – where can I get a solid Kaiser roll?

“Dear PoPville,
I was hoping to order delivery from Pho Viet (on 14th street). They don’t do delivery themselves. A few years back I was able to order through Postmates but can’t find them on there anymore. Usually I order and pick up but I’m too far to walk and will not be taking public transport/ride shares/etc. Read More
“Dear PoPville,
I love Mark’s Duck House in Falls Church and Bob’s Shanghai 66 in Rockville, but delivery in the District? Chinese New Year is coming, who is the best to order from?”
“Dear PoPville,
What is the protocol or expectations regarding apartments and food delivery service from places like postmates, Grubhub, etc.? Do you expect them to come to the building front door or to come upstairs to your apartment door? I live in a small building with just 12 units and no lobby or doorman. I can easily buzz people in but find that they often expect me to come down. Just curious what the norm is so I don’t expect something which isn’t really included.”
“Dear PoPville,
Anyone else have their @Caviar hacked recently? Someone got into my account ordered $148 of Chick-Fil-A on my credit card. Got an immediate alert and I stopped it but apparently this is a thing. The dumb part: they put their address and phone number in my app. Read More

From the Office of the Attorney General:
“Attorney General Karl A. Racine today announced a lawsuit against DoorDash, Inc., a food delivery service, for its practice of encouraging consumers to tip for food deliveries and then pocketing those tips instead of passing them along to workers. In its lawsuit, the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) alleges that DoorDash led consumers to believe that any tips would go directly to food delivery workers, while instead effectively treating this money as extra profit for the company. OAG is seeking to recover from DoorDash millions of dollars in tip money that consumers thought they were paying to workers, and to impose civil penalties. Read More
