A staple in a neighborhood crowded with restaurants, the Four Seasons Food Court has something for everyone. It's actually a bodega, convenience store and buffet rolled up in one. You can heap your plate with fresh chicken and seafood, including shrimp tempura, grilled chicken and sushi, but it's the healthy hot and cold vegetable dishes that really attract the crowds here. Prices are by weight, so don't load up too indulgently. Just grab a seat upstairs, enjoy the healthy food and clean environment and do some people watching while you're at it.
