We try hard to limit our myriad addictions, but one we’re not in any mind to even consider trying to break free of is our intense dependence on SeamlessWeb. SeamlessWeb is a restaurant delivery portal from which you can order breakfast, lunch, or dinner from hundreds of local eateries. You can even include the tip (although we suggest you do that in cash), and SeamlessWeb stores your credit card info and lets you manage your favorite orders so you don’t have to start from scratch each time. In addition, they list only those restaurants that are delivering at that specific time; if a place is closed, you can’t access it. Many of the restaurants offer twenty percent off your first order, and they recently added a feature where you can order in advance and pick it up yourself and accumulate points toward future discounts. No more futzing around with someone on the other end of the phone who always proceeds to get your order wrong — and, of course, no more menus! The SeamlessWeb truck will be giving out $10 discounts and lucky number fortune cookies and collecting menus at Union Square on Monday, Sixth Ave. between 55th & 56th Sts. on Tuesday, Madison Square Park on Wednesday, Lexington Ave. between 57th & 58th Sts. on Thursday, Sixth Ave. between Carmine & West Fourth on Friday, and at the Brooklyn Flea on Saturday and Sunday. Artist Kevin O’Callaghan, chair of SVA’s 3D design program, will gather all the menus and create a sculpture that will be unveiled over the weekend at the Brooklyn Flea.
