Take out / Delivery in Tinytown

Take out / delivery in Tinytown


Well if your hungry in Tinytown a lot depends on when and what you want. You’ll be able to find Salgadinhos and pastels from 10-2pm. The local weight by kilo joints are open the same hours. If your craving a burger or pizza, it can’t be had until after 7pm. In Tinytown if you’re hungry between 2pm and 7pm forgeddaboudit . Somehow your not supposed to be hungry during these hours. Kinda weird in my mind. However, this is Tinytown, not some tourist trap on the coast somewhere.

@bepmoht, are there takeout / delivery only service in TinyTown?  I thought that you would have sit-down restaurants and the takeout / delivery service is for people who do not want to sit in the restaurant.


One question:  if I want to spend a couple of days in TinyTown, what would be the typical schedule and what would I do?

I would get a hold of the local tourist companies. Google


Sítio Cantinho do Céu Pancas ES


and


Colina Deck House Pancas ES


These folks are probably more aquatinted with the local sites and going’s on. They seem to skewed toward adventure tourism here. Things like hiking, camping, riding a zip line, para gliding.


Frankly, I’m not tuned into the local touristy goings on. Not my cup of tea.

Fortunately we weren’t down here during the pandemic. I suspect groceries, water, gas, liquor, beer and pharmaceuticals were all delivered. I know a couple restaurants went belly up. Even today, besides groceries and takeout food, most everything can be delivered in less than 30 minutes.

Just as well for you.  We tried to help our favorite restaurants survive by ordering food for delivery; it helped in a couple of cases, but many restaurants and other businesses went under.  Covid arrived in Manaus late, as many things do since we have no land connection to the rest of the country, and it arrived first in the wealthiest neighborhoods among people who had access to international travel, but it spread quickly and eventually hit the city very hard.


We hunkered down and went out exactly once a week, to do our grocery shopping and that of some elderly neighbors, until we could get vaccinated.  It took a long time for things to get back to normal, and air travel still has not.  No "saudades" for those days!
