"Sometimes, the beginning of the week hits you like a brick to the face and the only cure is creamy curry. E-Jae Pak Mor is a Thai spot in the ID that can provide this by way of bright orange khao soi with drumstick meat that falls apart faster than your morning to-do list. And if something soupy isn't in the cards, their khao mun gai with ginger sauce and chicken-y rice has enough built-in comfort to sail you through to Friday. Grab your friends for a last-minute group dinner to make a Monday hit you more like a bucket of cotton balls." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
