What is your favorite takeout/delivery/etc. local restaurant or business? Now that we are heading into a new lockdown, please use this thread as a central location for sharing your favorite local restaurant or business recommendations!
Do you use pickup or delivery? What are some non-food-business ways we can support those around us?

I'll preface this by saying that I haven't been to either place in a while so idk how they're doing with covid-19 precautions and the like.
Both pickup, Capitol Hill:
Dumpling Tzar. If you've never had pelmeni (Russian dumplings, basically) I highly recommend it. You can't go wrong with the classic but I also loooove the razorback (bacon jam & sour cream). I always go with a meat filling with sour cream and plenty of curry powder. Again, I haven't been in a while so idk if the menu has changed and I can't get their website to load right now for some reason.
Carmelos is amazing for tacos. So good. I don't even know what to recommend specifically; just get tacos at Carmelos.
OH ALSO, Dumpling Tzar is right next to Rachel's Ginger Beer. So get a growler of ginger beer while you're there and make some bomb mules to have with your pels. I do Montana mules (whiskey, lime, ginger beer) and add a sprig of rosemary.
