Uber Eats is not an option for Roosevelt Island

@Uber_Support hey there :) Would it be possible to add Roosevelt Island in NYC to the map of Uber Eats? We are 2 min extra drive from the closet available delivery spot in Queens and are already covered by Uber drives just not food deliveries. #SelfDistancing #needpizza pic.twitter.com/HGtrTWolZC
