Theatre district meal joints - I
Subsisting on a light salary packet of student stipend, Ghost and me go to AMC, the Huge-Ass 25 screen theatre in Times Square on the 42nd street for a weekend getaway. Usually we head for a foreign eatery later on. We have tried Mexican, Italian, limited Asian and Mediterranean. But the place we love to go for food after a nice movie is a Thai place called Pong Sri on the 48th street.
As Indians, it is a little hard to find a good eatery that comes close to our spice palate levels. Lots of people who have been abroad recommend Thai as something we would like the best of non-Indian fare. Ghost had his trial at Thai and raved about it a lot. I am slightly conservative with trying unfamiliar things and it was fortunate that Ghost needled me into at least giving Thai cuisine a shot.
I am not very sure what we ordered, since the names are hard for me to get. The best part about the dishes were that the spice level could be controlled. They had hot, very hot, mild etc. When the food came, the heavenly aroma and colours shut-upped us, and we just dug into it ravenously (same reason we don't have any pictures of the food even though we visited it a few times). It wasn't until we finished quarter that we lifted heads to remark pleasurably and swap dishes. At the end of it, we ordered some awesome dessert called rambutan. It is some peeled grape type of a tropical fruit floating in a small saucer of ice cubes. It was beyond any fruit we tasted before. Amazing! The wait staff was very courteous, and they refilled our water glasses regularly without giving us the chance to search for them and ask for it. I could get into this movie and Pong Sri routine happily. They are not stingy in the meal portions and you would be more than full with just one entree or main course with rice / noodles. I advise you go in a group and order plenty of variety. In their own words (borrowed from the website) "great food does not need to cost a fortune". Amen to that.
I have started directing my friends' traffic to this place, so if you happen to stop by NYC and crave for incredible Thai food that does not wound your wallet, this is the place to go to.
