"If you live in the East Village, you should be telling everyone you know about Soothr. It opened in early 2020, serving dishes you may not have seen before elsewhere in Manhattan like sukhotthai tom yum noodles and specialties from Bangkok’s Chinatown hub. Whatever you do, order the koong karee. This curry has a pleasantly gooey shrimp and egg consistency, and it makes for great leftovers with rice the next day." - hannah albertine, bryan kim
