Free cupcakes? Yes, we've seen those before. But the Duane Street Hotel is taking hotel sweets to the next level with an inspired turndown service idea: hand-made marshmallows delivered to your room.

Oh yes, people. Available Thursday through Sunday nights, the hotel's marshmallow expert plies the halls with a cart stacked high with the treats, in flavors straight out of the hotel kitchen's wheelhouse. On offer right now are lavender, lime and mango, but we expect other tastes like ginger, cardamom and thyme to rotate in.

Credit the effort to former Iron Chef challenger Jehangir Mehta, whose newish Mehtaphor restaurant has injected a bit of culinary life into the property, where the previous offering, 'beca, was imminently forgettable. Room service marshmallows: a sure sign of progress!
