Doorman
Gone are the days of racing home to make sure your package was delivered safely or having things inconveniently sent to your office. For $79 per month, Doorman allows you to schedule as many deliveries as you want, whenever it’s most convenient for you. The company intercepts your packages at their warehouse and keeps them secure until you’re actually at home to receive it.
Fair Folks and a Goat
At $35 per month, you can join the shop’s coffee club and get all-you-can-drink coffee, tea, lattes, and espresso. The catch is, you’ll have to make the trek down to their East and West Village locations. If you live or work in the neighborhood, you definitely need to get on this.
Hooch
This app isn’t exactly unlimited, but it might as well be. For the low price of $9.99 per month, you can choose one drink a day at plenty of the local bars Hooch is partnered with around town. In short, you’re basically paying the price of one drink to be able to have 30 in total throughout the month. Not too shabby, if you ask us.

Meal Pal
It’s time to stop spending $15 on that salad you buy for lunch every day. Instead, let Meal Pal take care of all your food for the week while you’re at work for as little as $6 per meal. If you’re feeling extra lazy, they have dinner subscriptions, too.
Movie Pass
Movie prices have skyrocketed in the past few years, but this app found a way to make the movie theaters just like Netflix. $9.99 per month lets you see as many movies as you want anywhere in the country. Sadly it doesn’t include popcorn and candy, but maybe you can use all the money you saved on tickets for snacks.
Surf Air
You may need a break from the city from time to time, and flying out west is the way to go. All-you-can-fly is now a thing for $1,950 per month to any of the app’s destinations, including L.A. and Lake Tahoe.
Wax Club
Pamper yourself with a wax membership that gets you unlimited waxing for $99 per month. An eyebrow wax here and there may be no big deal, but those numbers add up.
