"Opening: September The team behind Fish Cheeks has a new Thai place in the West Village, inspired by Bangkok’s late-night food scene. The focus is on small plates, and dishes like rice-stuffed chicken wings, spicy beef tongue, and a whole branzino—all coming off a big charcoal grill in the open kitchen. Expect more of an upscale cocktail bar vibe, with a smoky, spicy cocktail program, than a casual BBQ spot." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore
