NYC Thai Restaurant Fish Cheeks Opens in Brooklyn | Eater NY

"A NoHo Thai seafood restaurant is opening a second Williamsburg location at 661 Driggs Avenue, near Metropolitan Avenue, on Tuesday, May 13. The Williamsburg space offers a similar Thai menu from executive chef Dustin Everett but with some new additions, including the Mama Tom Yum, a ramen noodle soup with crispy pork belly, shrimp, squid, jumbo lump crab, and egg yolks; and a marinated raw blue crab with lime juice, fish sauce, and Thai chiles. Drinks will include new cocktails from head bartender Nannawat Bunphet, like the Prala-Tini, a dry gin martini with an anchovy red wine vinegar and tomato garnish; and the Spicy Mango 2.0, an update on the restaurant’s spicy mango margarita with mezcal. The overall 2,200 square-foot space fits 74 people. Co‑founders are brothers Ohm Suansilphong and Chat Suansilphong, Jenn Saesue, and Pranwalai Kittirattanawiwat; Saesue and Chat are teaming up with acclaimed baker Melissa Weller on a vegan and gluten-free bakery opening in NoHo later this year." - Nadia Chaudhury
