Buffet convention-style
Guest staying at Disney’s Hotel New York, the resort’s second most expensive Disney hotel, during this summer season will be surprised to notice that both restaurants of the hotel – the Park Side Diner as well as the Manhattan’s – have been closed for the duration of the busiest months of the year! For the breakfast guests are guided twoard two large rooms of the convention center of the hotel, which is also the location for the “Radio City Buffet” that is offered in the same areas during dinner.
The Radio City Buffet is a mediterranean all you can eat buffet. In the past the convention center was used ocassionally on selected dates, in particular during the busiest days between Christmas and New Year’s to house a buffet, dinner or “dinner and dance” (on Christmas Day and / or new Year’s Eve)(ocassionally even with Disney characters), when the resort expected that the capacity of its restaurants in the hotel would be not sufficient. But during the remainder of the year regularly the convention center was fully booked for conferences and meetings which meant there was no room available for a buffet – which does not seem to be the case this summer…
In related “dining” news the “Rockefeller Plaza” building on the grand plaza between Disney’s Hotel New York and the Lake Disney boulevard (to the right of the ice rink seen from the lake) has undergone a major conversion. Formerly used as an arcade it is now a counter service location offering hot and cold drinks, ice cream and snacks such as salads and hot dogs to grab on the go or to sit down with on one of the tables that are placed on the plaza. The location had been tested with various mobile snack and drink sales points in the past years, from major caterin trucks (as used in the studios) to small push cars, as it is conveniently located to serve guests enjoying the ice rink (in winter) respectively the activity zone (in summer) as well as guests just strolling around Lake Disney
