Last night I wanted to catch up with some high school friends, so we decided on dinner and drinks. Luckily I walked by Thai restaurant A+ the other day and noticed an ever-so-important sign touting “BYOB, no corkage fee.” Well, that sealed the deal for us.
Located in Midtown, it was an easy location [...]

If you are looking to go out for lunch down in Soho, it can be pretty pricey. Fortunately, my office has discovered Peep Thai, and it has become our go-to whenever we welcome new employees to the office.
For those on a budget, Peep offers a phenomenal lunch special that cannot be beat. For [...]

A few weeks back, my friend Yael and I decided to meet for lunch in between our offices. With my office in Soho, and hers in FiDi, we decided to settle on Tribeca. Since Yael was craving Thai, we figured 35 Thai might be a safe bet - considering it was one of the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
