My good friend from college and her med-school friend stayed with me before a conference in the city, so I needed to find a spot for us to eat. To say I was low on money would be an understatement, but I didn’t want to totally cheap-out on their one night with me. Luckily they [...]

I really wanted to settle in last Tuesday with a big cheese pizza and Home Alone, but when I saw there was a new Thai place in the neighborhood, I couldn’t help but try it.  FUSE is a new Japanese/Thai spot here in Murray Hill on 2nd Ave between 34th and 35th.  Unfortunately, I can’t [...]

Last week I tried a Thai place, Kati, near Stuy Town with an old co-worker (no, not Laura). We decided on Kati because I previously bought a $25 Restaurant.com certificate for it at 80% off (totaling $2), and a financial incentive never hurts.
The place is small and pretty brightly lit, so it’s not an intimate setting, [...]

Toon Thai Cafe just made it cool to dine grandma-style. That’s right, their early bird special is nothing to scoff at. It has to be one of the better deals in the city - $15 for FOUR courses! Every day from 5-7 pm you can enjoy a Thai salad, your choice of appetizer, dinner and [...]

When our friend Trish was visiting the city from Indiana, we decided to check out a Thai restaurant for dinner, simply because she can’t easily get Thai back home.  Since she was staying over on 54th and 6th, we headed over to the nearby Topaz Thai, thanks to a recommendation from Yelp.
Topaz Thai was fairly [...]

When my dad, Andy, was in town last week, we decided to keep things simple and enjoy a delicious Thai meal.  Andy is always quick to point out that he loves all Asian cuisines, and with the nearest Thai restaurant far away from his home (is there even Thai restaurants in the middle of Connecticut?), [...]

Our little lunch group in the office has expanded from our usual cheap lunch spots - Subway and street carts - and recently began ordering in at least once a week.  Recently, we were attracted to the Thai restaurant Jaiya, because of the lunch specials.
Located in Murray Hill and Long Island City, Jaiya offers a [...]

Once again inspired by Laura, I was in the mood for Thai food. I thought of going uptown to try Osha after reading her review (the BYOB was particularly appealing), but much to my delight I stumbled across a new Thai place of my own to try. While walking around the neighborhood [...]

On Saturday night, my roommates and I decided to hit up a new Thai place in the neighborhood - Osha.  The two things that attracted us to Osha was the fact that it was new and it was BYOB.  With a couple of bottles of wine in hand, we arrived at Osha and unfortunately found [...]

I’m a big Thai fan and always on the hunt for cheap and delicious Thai food. One of my personal favorites in the city is Spice. Yes, I know some of you are rolling your eyes and I’ve heard the complaints before: small portions, crappy food, etc., etc. But I’m sorry, I have [...]
