All self-serviced, plenty of indoor courtyard seating and priced a bit lower than those back home in HNL - if you want to wander around for maybe 90 minutes to 2 hours before crossing the Hudson back to NY. There's a high-end fine Japanese dining facing the River looking toward the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
Thanks for the props. Coincidentally, I was at Mitsuwa on Sunday and my girlfriend and I got a kick out of the French financier (a type of pastry sort of like a madeleine) made in a Japanese bakery.

The restaurant to which you refer, Matsushima, is closed. I saw that on Yelp and wanted to check it out myself. There's no "for rent" sign up either so I have no idea what's up.
