The City Bakery is the perfect place for both kids and adults. A self serve buffet has a variety of items depending on the time of day. Choose what you want, and then take it to the cash register where you can also purchase hot or cold drinks (this is not all-you-can-eat unless you have a lot of cash) and seat yourself. The food is fresh, healthy and decidedly upscale, though parents will have to fend kids off from the delicious sweets. City Bakery's hot chocolate is among the best in the city (and there's some stiff competition in New York)
