One of America’s
most iconic buffet chains
chose the Bronx for its
fi rst New York City location,
one that announced
its outdoor opening on
Monday, Sept. 14.
Golden Corral, now
operating in the parking
lot of Van Nest’s 2375 E.
Tremont Ave. is open for
outdoor dining and takeout,
with delivery service
added in the weeks
ahead, according to
the restaurant.
For safety protocol
upon arrival, guests order
from outdoor registers
located behind plexiglass,
and then sit at one
of the socially distanced
sanitized tables.
Food is then brought
to each table using disposable
packaging and
utensils and guests are
required to wear masks
anytime they are away
from their tables.
Diners are encouraged
to use one of the
