I'm right next to where the WTC used to be all week for work. I didn't have time to go and look for anything today but I did end up at a small Thai place that was meh. No one ever makes the curry hot enough anywhere I go :p

Just got back from years in Asia, so I feel your pain.

Just the other day I was thinking about this very issue with Thai food, and decided to make a trip to Sripraphai this weekend. A Thai coworker actually recommended it, and said all Thai's in the NYC area know about it. Most authentic Thai in the city, and the highest rated in Zagat (27/30 for food). It's also very reasonably priced, similar to a typical Chinese meal.

If you'll still be around this weekend and want to check it out, your more than welcome to join me. Will be my first visit as well.

Edit: They have authentic jungle curry. :wub:

That sounds killer, unfortunately I'm heading out Saturday. I'm around friday night if you are though. LMK!

In Chicago there is ONE place that does really spicy curry, and they all come out to watch me eat it. I think it's because I look really white lol.

I went to Williamsburg/Brooklyn last night to Fatty 'Cues and it was pretty fucking ridiculous all around. Any place that makes strong drinks, has a passion for pork and plays obscure Black Moth Super Rainbow remixes on the playlist is AOK in my book.

But holy fuck.. Williamsburg is like a giant vampire weekend video... the hipsters are unreal in a hilarious way.

i work in the building on this block. MoOo speaks the truth. however, i prefer the lamb and rice.

Make sure you go to the one across the street from the Hilton.
Original Halal Guys~ with the yellow bag.

Also there is the Biryani Cart on 46th and 6th. That one is suppose to be really good too.
