Where to eat at Roosevelt Field

When it comes to shopping malls, lunch was once an afterthought to shopping — and dinner? That’s something you sought elsewhere. That formula has been flipped on its head of late at Roosevelt Field, which, during its 60-plus-year history, has probably never boasted as many places to eat as it does right now.
Long before Cubanos, edamame dumplings, and Wagyu burgers arrived at the Garden City mall, though, generations of teenagers made do with Mr. Pibb, oil-slicked regular slices and food-court teriyaki chicken. While forms of these things still exist, indulgent eats (some from celebrity chefs) cluster around the edge of the mall. The concentration of great food here rivals that of many Long Island downtowns. Here’s a rundown of some of the places worth seeking out.
