Three free meals available daily for any New Yorker

This is great but this encourages people to go out. The exact opposite of what we want right now. Deliver to people or just give them money so they can order online. We need to stop being greedy in this time.

Yikes. This vaguely reminds me of Frostpunk. Things must be getting pretty bad in NYC.

Can't wait for the pictures of overcrowded meal hubs on social media.

Also no kosher option.

Still Halal and Vegetarian options available, so clearly some thought given and overlooked.

This is wonderful to see and badly necessary, particularly in a country like the US, where most people do not have ability to cover a $500 surprise bill in normal times: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/most-americans-cant-handle-a-50... -- and we are definitely not in normal times.

Kudos to the NYC administration for putting this together so quickly.

cash in hand and/or packages with essentials is best, people will survive and then some. This will help spread the disease.
