"On December 8, the uptown location transforms into the annual Pai Holiday Market, styled after the night markets in Thailand where chef Nuit Regular grew up, with local artisans selling jewelry, vintage clothing, holiday ornaments, live portrait art and more. Chef Nuit and her culinary team serve special off-menu dishes including moo tawd or gai tawd (Thai-style deep-fried pork or chicken) and gaeng garee gai (yellow curry chicken). Admission is free, with a suggested $10 to $20 donation to pull a tag from the Lucky Tree Game for a guaranteed prize (Thai snacks, Chef Nuit’s cookbook, t-shirts and more), and all net proceeds support construction of an educational facility in Northern Thailand for underprivileged youth." - Julia Eskins
