TNC 14: 83 Thai on Elizabeth Street
Walk right under the air conditioning unit straddling the entrance to notice the small space inside the Thai restaurant. Short stack from the wet outside, slippery when wet. Careful with the treading. Plenty of tables for couples or threeples. Nothing enough for a dozen on the ground floor.
Quick up to the first floor and thar be long tables for the group. Large, say a dozen or more with a mirror ball hanging from the rafters. Wood beams and the rest of the plumbing along the walls and ceilings show their presence.
Good wait time between stepping through and with the order, pausing for the casual glance of the menu. Pausing again for the stragglers to make a decision. So many choices. Beef. Chicken. Pork. Water in jugs of Thai writings or Korean. Icy cold, with no ice. Probably Korean.
White and lots of it painting the decor. Pink little bear dead on the table marker. Hangman game gone wrong. Nooseless. And then the food arrives in fairly short steps.
Fresh is the taste and the tables clear out the plates with gusto. Too much on a few plates and the spread feels the excess of food going. Cost is easy on ten dollars and splitting the bill with 20 others, painless.
