I scream, you scream, we all scream for…Thai. (Bet you thought I was going to say ice cream.)
It’s official, all of you Thai food lovers out there (Penang Curry how I love thee)…get ready for a great week. April 13th through the 19th is Thai restaurant week, sponsored by the Royal Thai Embassy, marking the start of Thai New Year.
In all, 20 restaurants are participating. I’m including a list of the DC spots below, but head to the original information source, The Washington Post, for Maryland and Virginia participants as well as a few more details. I’m sad to see Regent Thai missing from the party. It’s a solid favorite and always delivers. There’s always next year.
I haven’t been to all on this list, but I can vouch for Thai Tanic and Rice, both in the Logan Circle neighborhood and both produce solid (notice I said solid, not amazing) Thai dishes. If you’re looking for a trendy atmosphere head to Rice, but if you’re in the mood for a very casual night out, Thai Tanic is a good bet. You can finish up dinner and head to one of my favorite spots in the city for some low-key jazz, HR-57. There’s a $12 cover and a $3 corking fee that goes along with their BYOB policy. That’s right BYOB. So stop by the Whole Foods on P street after dinner and grab a bottle to take with.
Enjoy the week!
