Last night I had dinner at FoodParc (and BeerParc) in Chelsea. It was awesome, in a word. It can best be described as a gourmet food court. You place your order on one of the dozen computers, and choose from pasta to burgers to salads to raw bar options and more, and then you get texted when your order is ready for pick-up. The neatest part of this dining spot is the outside area, where most of the seating is located. There was a ton of seating and the weather was wonderful, and there was a humongous TV screen on the side of a building. The concept is unique.--lots of different cuisines to choose from, almost no waiting time, no tips, no clean-up and brings a whole new meaning to TV dinner.
I would recommend this spot to just about anyone of any age. I noticed parents with children and strollers to college kids were enjoying the food and scene. Oh, and bonus, did you know that Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed an extended smoking ban into law, outlawing smoking in the city's parks, beaches and public plazas in NYC? So you can further enjoy your meal sans smoke being blown in your face.
To learn more about Foodparc, visit http://www.foodparc.com/ or go check it out one day this summer. The only thing that could make this spot any cooler in the summertime would be a pool, literally.
