The Best Restaurants In The West Village - New York - The Infatuation

"This sequel to the East Village Thai spot Soothr feels like the glam afterparty of a 1970s movie premier. If you need a place that immediately sets the tone for a lively night out, stop by and eat skewers beneath a mirrored ceiling while you listen to a Thai pop soundtrack. The food—like the spicy duck laab, and a seasonal fruit salad with fish sauce—doesn’t hold back, and the elaborate cocktails keep the mood festive. Try the frozen Somsri, made with tequila, lime zest, and guava puree. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - bryan kim, will hartman, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
