Have a big appetite? A buffet is the perfect place to satiate your hunger. While buffets have a bad reputation for serving old food that’s been sitting under a heat lamp for hours, these NYC spots are sure to change your mind. These restaurants all have their own all-you-can-eat offerings, and each is as delicious as the last. Next time hunger strikes, visit one of these five restaurants and get the most bang for your buck.
