Which area? Are you looking for a random girl, or a service? One time, or regularly?

Well, less about how far. It's only 25 minutes or so, depending on traffic, but can be longer in the evening. The main issue is parking. It's a schlep.

Shallots delivers, but I don't know how far. Tein li chow has free local delivery, but may possibly deliver downtown for a fee, I can't say that for sure. Ej's is on ubereats. Any particular reason you don't want to Uber?

You can order from Milt's using the Postmates app to downtown. Cheapest option delivery wise. Other places will charge an arm and a leg.
