Wayla

The Best Restaurants For Outdoor Dining In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"In terms of outdoor dining, Wayla outshines nearly every other restaurant on the Lower East Side with its beautiful back garden filled with plants, wicker furniture, and twinkling string lights. The next time you want to make it seem as if you know about cool things, bring a group here and share a bunch of Thai food. Order the crispy fried chunks of branzino, the slightly sweet noodles spilling out of a lobster’s head, and the crunchy noodle-wrapped meatballs." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah
