After being tucked into your bed/dinner table for your meal by a risqué performance artist/waiter, you'll spend four hours dining and being serenaded by drag queens (and kings), getting rubdowns from a masseur, and wowed by acrobats.

In complete disregard of any sort of health food movement, menu items like an 8,000-calorie quadruple bypass burger, Jolt cola and unfiltered cigarettes have led to the restaurant having to post, as required by the state of Arizona, that the nurses have no medical training.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.heartattackgrill.com/">Heart Attack Grill</a><br />6185 West Chandler Boulevard<br />Chandler, AZ 85226<br />(480) 705-9870<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Opaque, Los Angeles, Calif.</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1hSt9SUWZmVoUHvjsSv4V4PkM0O5msjxQFJN39EMYfsmT3ubpdkI83dWMjAOXZwaYunba4OY9y1fcraeh-lxpfpQaKKzXROyXzDpVwoNFU2y_Cvvqjgz9LVFgjsuf9ilxJjZF9xb_jD15/s1600/1111_opague-restaurant_485x340.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542569006117987682" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1hSt9SUWZmVoUHvjsSv4V4PkM0O5msjxQFJN39EMYfsmT3ubpdkI83dWMjAOXZwaYunba4OY9y1fcraeh-lxpfpQaKKzXROyXzDpVwoNFU2y_Cvvqjgz9LVFgjsuf9ilxJjZF9xb_jD15/s400/1111_opague-restaurant_485x340.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 368px;" /></a><br />Altering the notion of food being eaten with the eyes, this Los Angeles culinary adventure serves a two-hour, multi-course gourmet meal to diners who cannot see their food.

The dramatic setting is based on partly fictional Japanese lore. Dark labyrinths must be navigated to reach the dining areas, which are either in cave-like dojos or a feng shui rock garden. Adventurous and creative Japanese fare like monkfish liver salad and sashimi are on the menu, but more memorable will be the Ninja Art Dishes that include the table-side throwing of Ninja stars and chopping of grapefruits by sword.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh9URUl6L7hVkVZU6ApNe2Ddvn_k-HLD-sC6QtsioFx0dZ7rCuapglWNpNToaciV-Zd2_hLoMT4OjgpdpcrkiGvZOi2OQGjTqG8H-ECgk5YM1W7R4B4u9tMeMrUYMGQ7TP4HHM3eCsGusr/s1600/1111_ninja-new-york_485x340.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542571193493955794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh9URUl6L7hVkVZU6ApNe2Ddvn_k-HLD-sC6QtsioFx0dZ7rCuapglWNpNToaciV-Zd2_hLoMT4OjgpdpcrkiGvZOi2OQGjTqG8H-ECgk5YM1W7R4B4u9tMeMrUYMGQ7TP4HHM3eCsGusr/s400/1111_ninja-new-york_485x340.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 525px; height: 367px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://ninjanewyork.com/">Ninja</a><br />25 Hudson Street<br />New York, NY 10013-3802<br />(212) 274-8500<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mars 2112, New York, N.Y.</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg7pE1yiN0q094rY3T1zeERTvPwt6MFmnz0xv8EvPxTVPpY5XgGHKqxZ8K41bHxy5Bnxmcn_kD6G00wM4b9flDlukbmdtBTbRgWacvgrdmVyZ4oThR-X4p5fNMkmzwj_AhfHdLollzv3IR/s1600/1111_mars-2112-restaurant_485x340.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542569494140072130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg7pE1yiN0q094rY3T1zeERTvPwt6MFmnz0xv8EvPxTVPpY5XgGHKqxZ8K41bHxy5Bnxmcn_kD6G00wM4b9flDlukbmdtBTbRgWacvgrdmVyZ4oThR-X4p5fNMkmzwj_AhfHdLollzv3IR/s400/1111_mars-2112-restaurant_485x340.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 529px; height: 370px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc5hNUnGLq4_i4Qm81SDQ1APlGKgxjYQGJX3zkadvISb2QuCdpNdG9juSXby38wym7Jjv_le1hTYBBJAFqCdHFjarMToX7zBVrURS_C3tXHw9Ltu8cl5_Bb4-aBjpa8xL7kw8yOuZEBFwa/s1600/08.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542569363698952482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc5hNUnGLq4_i4Qm81SDQ1APlGKgxjYQGJX3zkadvISb2QuCdpNdG9juSXby38wym7Jjv_le1hTYBBJAFqCdHFjarMToX7zBVrURS_C3tXHw9Ltu8cl5_Bb4-aBjpa8xL7kw8yOuZEBFwa/s400/08.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 351px;" /></a><br />Thirty-five thousand square feet of Martian landscape define this restaurant and bar in New York's Times Square. Dining rooms are modeled after spaceships and the red, rocky surface of Mars. To get inside you must "ride" to the multi-level restaurant in a private spaceship (aka elevator), and when the doors open you are greeted by a crew of resident aliens. Inside the Mars Bar find a TV with Mars weather forecasts, though the restaurant's highlight is their unequivocal crystal tree with a glass window that looks back at the earth and stars.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKyfgIYaPll_aTw-zWSR2rTxBHrEGvjybBdWd8vEDOHxK_gLfRhvAixJJt-pMaT_0hcX1inX4Dm-WE7AE9vhezW6hJ7IejVIeCVLRax25fIcOzbTHs3zW7fnj1_P2nUhGQfxgPOGJXV2A0/s1600/02.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542569928242113586" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKyfgIYaPll_aTw-zWSR2rTxBHrEGvjybBdWd8vEDOHxK_gLfRhvAixJJt-pMaT_0hcX1inX4Dm-WE7AE9vhezW6hJ7IejVIeCVLRax25fIcOzbTHs3zW7fnj1_P2nUhGQfxgPOGJXV2A0/s400/02.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 524px; height: 349px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcv9Ci4KEWwlWCHbYReIXX_d-_8DBv9TnAw6jBtAMSzpukHzCbt9suevByxrDSkwvg7U7TpgkVOWk1YtgF7qwNfbM5rdWfsIgXeEekNMSXcWs97_9evH4oDCT37pCnydt275sGZiAxINxo/s1600/03.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542574120145075282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcv9Ci4KEWwlWCHbYReIXX_d-_8DBv9TnAw6jBtAMSzpukHzCbt9suevByxrDSkwvg7U7TpgkVOWk1YtgF7qwNfbM5rdWfsIgXeEekNMSXcWs97_9evH4oDCT37pCnydt275sGZiAxINxo/s400/03.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 527px; height: 351px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.mars2112.com/">Mars 2112</a><br />1633 Broadway<br />New York, 10020<br />(212) 582-2112<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Fort, Morisson, Colo.</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiofEcJCAkSPmeEiAUSbVT8PrQaX-FQ_DbJTYcU5dJ4w1us7rePZEj1tiAD6r2uOEIX0zC6qEqK5VTdV4Kv2g9bnw7UVUmvqI1URYhQZeDp2WTpfSeFze4nlQ7zOlNA-YqY1OfXZOi7lOvS/s1600/1111_the-fort-morrison-co_485x340.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542568254495319826" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiofEcJCAkSPmeEiAUSbVT8PrQaX-FQ_DbJTYcU5dJ4w1us7rePZEj1tiAD6r2uOEIX0zC6qEqK5VTdV4Kv2g9bnw7UVUmvqI1URYhQZeDp2WTpfSeFze4nlQ7zOlNA-YqY1OfXZOi7lOvS/s400/1111_the-fort-morrison-co_485x340.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 368px;" /></a><br />In 1962, when opening this replica of Bent's Fort--a seven-acre 1830s fur trade and freighting center on the Sante Fe Trail--the owner researched more than 2,000 historic journals and diaries to guarantee the atmosphere and food were as authentic as possible. He built the structure out of adobe bricks and added fire pits, tepees, New Mexican farolitos, and a floor of earth and ox blood (now covered with wood planks). The restaurant now sells more buffalo meat than any other independently owned restaurant in the United States in the form of steaks, prime rib, hump, tongue, sausage and "Rocky Mountain oysters."<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipdQMFHnRjn8k5Pf44e-TVkvUUzvodUa9q-PqXnb8Xt-nemcsjrVMcKOXaNeIUq0skgVMX2PI58GyxvJt6FNS628PiKmv9KW_xjniHHFAcEyW4e7Hn4u3hAPZJR6xEDzMCGArsdw8m_mvS/s1600/the_fort_600x600.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542573420106796690" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipdQMFHnRjn8k5Pf44e-TVkvUUzvodUa9q-PqXnb8Xt-nemcsjrVMcKOXaNeIUq0skgVMX2PI58GyxvJt6FNS628PiKmv9KW_xjniHHFAcEyW4e7Hn4u3hAPZJR6xEDzMCGArsdw8m_mvS/s400/the_fort_600x600.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; width: 524px; height: 347px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.thefort.com/">The Fort</a><br />19192 Colorado 8<br />Morrison, CO 80465<br />(303) 697-4771
