Some of the best Thai cuisine in New York is available at this trendy spot, along with respectable Japanese and Korean fare. The artists and musicians who live in the area also appreciate the restaurant's cheap prices, with most entrées costing less than $10. The large, funky space is always crowded at night, but the bar area in front is a good place to wait for a table. Thai dishes include such staples as pad thai and chicken curry, but also a fine ground pork salad and delightful striped bass. Reservations not accepted. Subway: L to Bedford Ave.
