There seems to be a new trend lately in new restaurants called cafeteria style dining. Besides the new eatery Hudson Hall at Ian Schrager’s Hudson Hotel that prides itself on very nice cafeteria style dining, Chef David Change’s Ma Peche and Batali and Bastianich’s new ‘Eataly’ both have that community food hall feel. Now at the Plaza Hotel, comes the recently opened ‘Plaza Food Hall,’ by NY Chef Todd English in the basement of the famed hotel, and that too has that communal dining-hall feel. It has a few food bars serving everything from pizza to seafood and sandwiches. It’s social, lively, chic and very nice. Hot shot Chef Todd English, who was in the papers more recently for his personal life as opposed to his food, can be seen running around the eatery. Plaza Food Hall at 1 West 58th Street.
