All you can eat buffets are not popular here, because business owners know, everyone would be bringing their entire families, and their dead grandparents to the buffets, eating them outta food. People would be staying all-day eating. Its chaotic.
The charge by the head, so more people (living or dead) means more revenue. I have to think these places know how to estimate their food cost per customer pretty well.

Lol this? This is compleltely wrong. I highly doubt this. For traveling throughout America in my experiences, buffet are staple.
NYC is one of least American cities in the country besides San Francisco. In other parts of the country buffets are a mainstay. Being least American reflects on the cities eating culture. One thing I noticed way outside of the city is eating or food culture. Buffet are staples in places such as the South and out West. I'm sure their are buffet that exist in NYC, but probably exist in areas where there is high numbers of general American culture, and I'm not talking about sophisticated gentry folks either. Maybe in places like Harlem a buffet is probably around or in parts of Central Brooklyn or in Eastern Queens like Jamaica. I think there is a buffet here in Mott Haven. I think its like 4.99 a plate, but I have yet to eat there. I just don't like the idea of different people plucking out food with the same giant utensil where germs, bacteria and viruses can spread or cross contaminate. The best Buffet I have had was in Las Vegas and in DC. I think if NYC had more general American culinary culture, buffet would be a cultural mainstay in the city.
The buffets that I'm familiar with in NYC have only been/are ethnic eateries. Mainly Chinese (think Favor Taste 99 in Brooklyn and Manhattan, as well as other Chinese and even Indian buffet options). There are actually quite a few all you can eat options in Brooklyn's main Chinatown.
