one more thai is the 2nd best thai spot for me in downtown
knickerbocker bagel!!!!ā absolute levels best in city for me
spicy moon cool too
hanon good for udon and cheaper
ichiran best ramen of my life
banh mi place in prospect heights!!! their tofu banh mi sandwich is literally heavenly. the tofu is so fluffy. i didnāt love their garden rolls personally but their non-veg rolls may be good. order ahead if ur picking up bc they can get super busy :)
also banhmigos in park slope!! their mushroom banh mi sandwich is good. i canāt remember which i liked better but the tofu and veg rolls are reallyyy good. also definitely get a bubble tea because they have sooo so many options! and their service is usually really fast!
NYC:
Vietspot in FiDi has the absolute best chicken pho
Shanghai 21 (formerly Shanghai Asian Manor) has out of this world soup dumplings, bonus points if you go during the New Year parade

Romantic night. They do a special service on Valentines Day that we go to every year
an insane debut album that i canāt believe came out in 1967, perfect poetic songwriting front to back and 80% iconic hits. nevermind the fact that the back album cover is so cool.
