This gourmet meal-delivery service was founded on a somewhat revolutionary concept: Frozen dinners needn’t be mass-produced or low-quality. For years, the collab between founders Micah Fredman (Gramercy Tavern) and Joshua Brau (Chipotle and Blue Apron) has been touted as the best-kept secret in the Big Apple. This year it moved up north, partnering with Ana Sortun of Oleana to deliver a variety of frozen dishes such as braised short-rib kakuni and beef kimchi stew to hungry (and time-strapped) Bostonians—no subscription required.
Starting at $7 per serving, eatipsa.com.
