BOND
The hotel's ultra-hip restaurant and lounge is a favorite hangout of the moneymakers working in the Financial District. This is their after-work, powerhouse dinner and drinks spot, and while the food is outstanding, this is best for mom and dad only. However, the restaurant is open for lunch, which may be better suited for the kids. After 10 p.m., a DJ makes the restaurant a hip nightclub, Thursdays through Saturdays.
Cafe Fleuri
Located beneath a six-story glass atrium filling the space with sunlight is the elegant, brasserie-style Cafe Fleuri. Open for breakfast and lunch, 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., its award-winning Sunday brunch is a must with made-to-order omelets, light and fluffy cinnamon brioche French toast, and a "Kid's Barn" with all-beef hot dogs, country fried chicken nuggets, pizzas, fruit skewers, mac and cheese, penny candy and treats galore, including gummy bears. (Brunch is $48/adults; $25 children 12 and under; free for children under 4)
Dinners are offered Tuesdays through Saturdays, with an open kitchen and a brick oven inviting diners to watch as seasonal dishes are prepared by the city's best-trained chefs.
Chocolate Bar
A tradition since the building was first converted into a hotel and operated by Le Meriden, the Chocolate Bar (September through June) is world famous and features 85 different types of chocolate desserts. Although not to be missed, this is not for the weak. No other brunch foods are offered. It is 100 percent chocolate, from a chocolate pasta station to a chocolate crepe station to a fountain of chocolate with berries, marshmallows and pretzels to dip into to chocolate martinis to even chocolate pizza. My little ones were immediately drawn to the cotton candy station, devouring a hearty dose of pink spun sugar for their first brunch "meal." A word to the wise: follow a visit here to the Children's Museum and let them play out their sugar high. ($38/adults; $25 children 12 and under; free for children under 4)
In-Room Service
Room service options are better-than-average dinner selections, including cheese plates with a selection of French, Italian and Swiss cheeses served with fruit and bread, and succulent steak. Kids will find the standards like grilled cheese, PB&J, chicken fingers and hot dogs.
