NINJA! | Connie's birthday dinner

Felix always says if he was given a couple million to open a restaurant, that restaurant would be just like NINJA in TriBeCa.

Ninja is exactly what you would imagine if you were to create a ninja-themed restaurant. It is super fancy japanese-y fusion food with ninjas. All the waiters are dressed as ninjas and they jump around and pounce on you from the ceilings and threaten you with swords and shirukens and ninja fire arts and you'll be happily eating your meal one minute and the next you'll turn your head and there will be a scary man in black holding a dagger across your throat.



You enter the restaurant and you are forced to walk through "Ninja Pass" which is basically like a mini-haunted house but with ninjas that pop out and try to kill you.




Once seated at our table (all the tables are private tables in little caves or dojos) we had some delicious ninja cocktails.





And delicious ninja apps.



Lots of the courses involved fire and smokey dry ice.




And you'd be in the middle of the conversation and then all of sudden Connie's mom's life would be in danger.




The presentation of everything was SO cool.




This is the baked alaskan king krab / super wagyu steak dish. We ordered three of them because we are crazy.




NINJA ATTACK!!!!



Lots of explosions and flying ninja stars and random shrieking stuff.

I also bumped into Alicia Keys on my way to the bathroom.

Never a dull moment.




Finally Connie was presented with a magical ninja star.



It exploded in her face and almost died.



Happily, she did not.



This was the delicious chocolate bonzai pudding dessert thing. So good.



Connie wasn't the only one who got presents.



I got a pretty new Ralph Lauren sweater and shirt combo too thanks to her wonderful parents.



Happy Birthday Con-Con, you are loved by all!
