I checked out the Christiana Mall's new food court for lunch today, looking to catch a glimpse of the improvements and things to come.
The mall opened its new food court last week and, while the selection of restaurants is still small, the changes seem to be for the better. Here are some of the highlights and lowlights:
— It has been open for about a week and those who come to dine can choose from Suki Hana, Arby's, a new-and-improved Salad Works, and Auntie Anne's. Good choices to start. However, employees from Mrs. Fields and Cinnabon say that we will have to wait until August to enjoy their sweets in the mall.
— A Master Wok employee said they will be moving into the new food court within the next three weeks. Not sure about the other restaurants.
— One thing we have to look forward to is the arrival of Chick-fil-A. I'm predicting that it will take over as the most popular fast food joint in the mall.
— My favorite thing about the move is that a huge Barnes & Noble is being built near the main food court entrance. They couldn't have picked a better spot to put a bookstore.
— The eating area seems to be much more open and very well lit. The dining experience was quite relaxing.
REGULAR GUY FOOD RECOMMENDATION OF THE DAY: Suki Hana's #4 combo, which includes sesame chicken and rice. I prefer it with white rice, much to my doctor's dismay. The chicken is not spicy (if you're afraid of that) and the portion is large enough that you could save some for later.

Is/have Cosimo's Pizza returned in the new Food Court? I loved getting a slice there.
I believe Cosimo's just closed from its regular location on Sunday. It is not in the new food court yet, however, I saw that there is a spot for it.
Definitely one of the favorites, and I'm sure many people will be anticipating its re-opening.
Well that's cool. I thought Christiana mall was in bancruptcy and under martial law. Haven't ventured there in over a year. Where is the new food court? Why are they building a new B&N instead of using one of the empty anchor locations? Or do they have new anchors? I'm really out of the loop I guess. But I do still remember the mall opening (around 78?) and my first taste ever of an Orange Julius. Holy crap. I thought it was heaven.

I believe the entrance is where Wilson's leather used to be, but I haven't been over there in about a month.
Thanks for the info on Cosimo's, Andre!
