Ninja New York
Open seven nights a week for dinner, Ninja New York lets you dine in a setting that depicts a ninja castle from feudal times. Rooms are laid out in a maze formation, with ninja equipment around every corner. The upscale, casual atmosphere offers an unusual but enjoyable dining atmosphere. The à la carte menu has Japanese soups, salads and main courses. Try seasonal greens with kombu dashi or ninja miso soup. For an entree, consider the pork toban with assorted vegetables or ancient short rib with Asian-spiced barbecue sauce. Sushi and sashimi are offered as well, and various cocktails and sake are available.

Duvet Restaurant & Lounge
After a day of touring, why not kick up your feet and have dinner in bed? You don't have to order room service at your hotel to do this; visit Duvet Restaurant & Lounge instead. Thirty large, custom-made beds with 400-count sheets and goose-down pillows grace the dining room. Traditional dining at tables is an option for those who don't like dining in bed. For those who wish to dine late into the night, the restaurant opens at 10 p.m. Appetizers include butternut squash gnocchi, passion fruit ceviche, warm goat cheese in tortillas and seared diver scallops. Other entrees are pork tenderloin, ginger-scented chicken, honey-scented duck and bluefin tuna.
