"We like the original location of 26 Thai because it is always buzzing, and there’s plenty of space—inside or out on the street-facing Midtown patio—to stretch out. Come for an upbeat date, where the atmosphere does the talking. People gather around the bar with Thai lagers in hand, and animated conversations swirl around the dining room. Or make it a double date with friends for happy hour (2–6pm) for $8 crispy spring rolls. The move here is to share a few plates, but just know the basil chicken and the spicy tom yum, packed with Thai chilis are the kind of dishes that might expose your selfish side." - juli horsford, jacinta howard
