"Follow the custom "train station" signs and street vendor-style market carts to the back of Northeastern Thai restaurant Sappe, where a small horseshoe-shaped bar evokes the Hua Lamphong station in Bangkok, including a large semicircle green-and-white stained-glass window, horseshoe bar and vintage-style lighting fixtures. From the team behind Thai noodle bar Soothr, Sappe, which opened in January 2024, focuses on Esan-style train market and street food (think grilled skewers and sweets served from carts). Drinks developed by manager/co-owner Supatta Banklouyhas are wonderfully elaborate, often featuring Thai flavors and ingredients. Frozen margarita fans will want to trade up to the frozen Somsri, made with tequila, Cointreau, lime and guava puree." - Kara Newman
