Lovely Day - New York

Unfortunately the food was just really really flavorless. Perhaps its just better in restaurant than via delivery, but I was bummed for sure

The atmosphere was cool , food was nothing special the Irish breakfast I ordered was disappointing . The service was not all that great. Server only checked on our table once and it took forever to get our drinks . I mean why did we have to wait 10 min for 3 beers and a Thai drink?

Something about Lovely Day makes it so cozy, understated, and such a great place for dinner. My love for Thai food meant I have some very high expectations, and this place did not disappoint.It is hard to define Lovely Day in the first place. It is, for sure, not trendy. But despite its dim aging interior, it is not mundane either. In fact, the crowd we've seen is still overwhelmingly the young and hip Nolita type. They approved this over $60 brunch? Unknowable universe!This place passed my curry test for how spicy it was. I did not see this coming it was disguised as a green curry, which is typically less spicy than red curry. What kind of chili was that?They also make some of the best Pad Thais out there. It has a chewy texture coupled with the distinctive sour taste that saves it from being too dense, a mistake many Thai places make too often. Coupled with the coconut milk soup and you just had a happier dinner than you might ask for.I heard many locals longed to keep this place a secret, and I can see why. But seeing how much dedication this place poured into itself, I'd hate for it to go out of business. Kind reminder that they have a bar too if you need some liquor with your Thai ;

Good food and nice atmosphere, I tried the ginger fried chicken with brown rice, and it was delicious ? . One thing is they only accept cash or Amex?

Fresh, delicious food. Great place for a weekend bite, especially on a sunny day when they put out their colorful tables and chairs.
