Thai Restaurants in NYC

New York City is probably the most visited city in North America, and for good reason. Even if you are not a fan of big crowded cities, you could easily spend a week just exploring Central Park on foot or by bike. As one of the most international cities in the world, food connoisseurs have long admired the opportunity to sample authentic ethnic cuisines in the city. This still holds true today, and with an array of new and established Thai restaurants on the island, you can get a taste of Bangkok right in the Big Apple.

Bangkok House

Bangkok House is one of the newer restaurants to open on Midtown Manhattan's famous Restaurant Row. The soups here are excellent---the Tom Kha Gai attains the right balance of spice and coconut sweetness. They offer an $18.95 Prix Fix menu that comes with a soup, salad, appetizer, your choice of entrée and dessert.
