"FiDi isn’t exactly the Thai food capitol of NYC, so any good Thai restaurant in the neighborhood, like Lil Chef Mama, is notable. Here, you’ll find salads, curries, and noodles common to a lot of Thai places, but focus on the house specials. Try an Honor of the King—a huge omelet filled with chunks of chicken breast topped with peanut sauce, or five spice soup with broad rice noodles and pork belly. The huge dining room has tables that are arranged far apart, so this is a great option if personal space is important to you." - kenny yang, neha talreja, hannah albertine
