"Street To Kitchen will leave you questioning if you’ve ever had spice in the first place. This East End Thai restaurant’s crisp papaya salad gets crunchier and spicier with each bite and the acidic tom yum soup laced with shrimp and mushrooms only intensifies the burn. But the heat is all part of the experience and makes leaning in with a date over mango sticky rice for dessert much sweeter. Mix in the neon signs, music that encourages seat shimmying, and the most serious Thai food in town and we’ve got one the best restaurants for a romantic night out, or a spot to catch up with friends over frozen thai tea. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
