Earlier this year, I featured The Plaza Food Hall located in the lower level (basement) of The Plaza Hotel by Central Park in New York City. Today, the good news is some of the iconic wonderful places I go to will join the Food Court. The following will soon be in the The Plazal Food Hall:
1) Luke's Lobster (already featured)2) La Maison du Chocolat (mentioned) 3) Lady M Cake Boutique - specializes in the multi layered crepe cakes in different flavors (have ordered on ocassion but have not featured) and 4) Sushi Gari.
I can't tell you how excited I am to find all of these under one roof (err... basement). If you haven't read my experience at The Plaza Food Hall, go check it out now below:
In the beginning of this summer 2011, in search where my favorite French little pastry shop went, I delightfully discovered The Food Hall in the lower level of the famous Plaza Hotel in New York City. I had not realized that the Plaza Hotel actually had a little shopping mall with fine food!
Entering from 58th Street takes you directly down the escalator to the shopping concourse. Behind the perfumery is Todd English's Food Hall. The place is enormous, and you can either eat around the counters or on tables with high stools.
The first course was fried oysters on special cream sauce with lemon, scallions and some capers
Main course was arugula pizza with very thin crust and light cheese. It was healthy and delicious!
On the right was the petite cheesecake with berry coulis for dessert. Just a touch of sweet to end the meal.

The menu is very good. The atmosphere is casual and the place was totally vibrant! They have a bakery, wine bar, cheese and mini market. We decided to sit at the counter around the seafood-oyster bar area.

The Food Hall had 2 versions of Prix-fixe lunch menus with several choice for each. You could also order ala-carte.
Pictured on the right is the oyster board menu.
