This year, many stores and restaurants have found their new homes at Crossgates Mall, like Mrs. Fields Cookies, Newbury Comics, Lovisa, and Toys 'R' Us just to name a few. In this latest round of additions, three new restaurants are supposed to be making their debut sometime this winter. If you're looking to chow down on some delicious food while doing your shopping, make sure you stop at these eateries:

Having opened in 2017, Whealthy has taken the culinary world by storm since their invention of the auto wok. This patented machine allows the cooks to make healthy stir fry dishes efficiently. Order one of their signature menu items or even create your own dish if you're feeling fancy. You can expect to see Whealthy on the second floor of Crossgates near H&M and Best Buy sometime this winter (News Channel 10).

Many Capital Region soul food lovers know Kitchen 216 well. Named after its original location on 216 Lark St., this place isn't a chain restaurant like the previous two stores. Having since moved from Lark St. to Central Ave, and then to Crossgates Commons in order to keep up with business demands, this eatery is set to be opened next to McDonalds sometime this winter (News Channel 10). Serving up a modern take on soul food cuisine, Emrys Young has been running the business since 2018. Check them out on Instagram to stay up to date.
