A popular ride sharing service will now also deliver food directly to your doorstep.

Uber announced this morning that it has expanded its UberEATS app in to Queens for the first time, covering Astoria, Long Island City, and Sunnyside.

The app has partnered with 30 local restaurants, and will deliver food ordered through the UberEATS app or on their website, expanding the reach of certain restaurants in to new neighborhoods.

The service is available from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. every day, and carries a $2.99 delivery fee, but similarly to the ridesharing service, tipping is not required and users can rate their experience after delivery.

In celebration of the expansion in to Queens, Uber is offering $15 off of the first order through the app until next Monday, using the code LETSEATQNS15.

A spokesperson for the company did not answer questions regarding the expected amount of use of the app in the area or future plans for expansion, but only referred to the FAQ page on the company website.
