The 11 Best Party Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"You’re in for a good time the moment you make your way down the stairs into the subterranean level of Mao Mao, a Thai restaurant in Bushwick. You might even throw your hands up in the air from one of the theater-style seats and start dancing. The combination of twinkly lights, vintage Thai movie posters, and Thai acid rock playing at Ozzfest-level decibels will do that to a person. Come here with a few friends, work your way through something from every page of the menu (we love the khao mun gai), and plan to linger over Thai beers and tastes of different kinds of ya dong, the liquor that Mao Mao specializes in." - bryan kim, matt tervooren, neha talreja
