Thai @ Lex

Inside the compact room, about ten decorated tables set the scene for casual dining a short walk from the Met. The kitchen supplements standard curries and pad Thai with practical touches, like ordering cup-sized tom yum soup alongside an entree or getting vegetarian soup with the mid-day combo. Main dishes naturally arrive at a medium spice level, though the kitchen adjusts heat up upon request. For a drink after eating, note that the restaurant serves iced coffee only.
