Ayada Thai
Ayada is one of the best Thai restaurants in the city. Bring a big group to Elmhurst spot, and cover your table in duck, catfish, and drunken noodles.
NYC’s most ubiquitous lobster roll, you can grab a Red Hook Lobster Pound roll pretty much anywhere food vendors are found. They seem to pop up at every market, outdoor food festival, and street corner. Their rolls are solid, well-priced, and identifiable by a very specific, paprika-heavy spice topping medley. We highly discourage adding bacon to it, which is one of the options and has always felt very weird to us.
