IrmaZandl ZandlSlant: Recommend: chicken salad with banana blossoms (spicy), grilled blow fish,, chicken curry, coconut ice cream with cream. I LOVE this restaurant!
Vinny Diesel: Spicy chicken salad, baby octopus, chicken liver, and the sole dessert: coconut ice cream with whipped cream & coconut flakes. Delectable. The hoppy beers on tap (Sorachi Ace & Sofie) are legit!
Jason Kapler: The coconut ice cream with whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes will make you grateful your parents made you.

Jeffrey Glueck: The violet beurogarde cocktail with elderflower liquor and prosecco is yummy, also the rack of Lamb and the truffle fries
Thrillist: E&E Steakhouse has crazy, proteinaceous 'tails like the Baked Potato (bacon vodka, muddled chives, dill, hot sauce), a luau-themed joint sporting smoked-pork-infused rum and pineapple juice. Read more.

Thai Restaurant · Garment District · 115 tips and reviews
Kenneth Tiong: Crispy pork is the best, followed by crispy duck and then tilapia. Crab salad is a bit weird, would not recommend. But an amazing coconut ice cream and good shaved ice.
Nick Andlinger: Midtown gem. Great lunch specials including the exceptional pad Thai. Spice levels are on point.
Serious Eats: Excellent Isan Thai food in a neighborhood full of mediocre competition. Ask for serious spice and you'll get it.
Rahadyan Sastrowardoyo: My girlfriend had green curry with chicken, I had massamun curry with tofu and we shared fried bananas with coconut ice cream and chocolate sauce.
Cecilia Schudel: Love this place. Delicious pad see ew, tamarind fish, curries, soups... But vegetarians beware, not all their "Vegetable" menu items are vegetarian!
Arielle Spiegel: Amazing green curry. Get the lunch special!

French Restaurant · Upper East Side · 92 tips and reviews
E P: Risotto Balls, Squash Soup, Duck Breast, Duo of Beef and very knowledgeable sommeliers on staff. One of my top five choices in the New York area.
Serious Eats: Excellent upscale French restaurant from the Daniel Boulud team. For a more casual meal with drinks, try Bar Pleiades next door.
New York Habitat: A great place to splurge on brunch in the UES. Get the $39 2 course prix-fixe, it's worth it. We recommend the Crepes Suzette and the scrambled eggs with butter poached lobster.
