Uber's food delivery service is rolling out its fleet of cars and bike couriers beyond Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn.

UberEats is available, as of Thursday, in upper Manhattan, The Bronx and parts of Queens, as first reported by the New York Post.

Launched as a standalone app in March, UberEats was previously available in Manhattan below 135th Street and in northern and western neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

Restaurants in the new territories accepting orders through the app include popular Bronx eateries like La Masa, Cabo and Ann & Tony's — serving up Colombian, Mexican and Italian food respectively. 

UberEats now has a total of 1,000 participating restaurants, general manager Jon Feldman told the Post.

The app's appeal for eateries — which pay UberEats a larger cut per order than they do its rival Seamless — is that it offers not only a marketing platform for its food, but a network of drivers and bike couriers to deliver that fare.

That network is now branching out to include Sugar Hill, Washington Heights and Inwood in Manhattan, and Jamaica and Bayside in Queens.

Orders, which can be placed on the app or website, come with a flat $2.99 delivery fee.
