Our Top Pick
Soothr LIC
Bangkok-style flavors in a big, buzzy LIC dining room with cocktails.

Notable Picks

$$$ Sunnyside Thai
A high-energy Bangkok-inspired room that leans into bold, street-to-banquet flavors rather than playing it safe. Come hungry, order share-style, and let the kitchen’s savory depth (noodles, curries, seafood) do the heavy lifting while the cocktail program keeps the pace moving.
Must-Try Dishes: Khao Soi, Crab noodles, Mango sticky rice
What Makes it Special: Bangkok-style flavors in a big, buzzy LIC dining room with cocktails.

Worthy Picks

$ Sunnyside
A French-leaning pastry shop that’s quietly one of the smartest special-occasion moves in the neighborhood—cakes, tarts, and laminated pastries that hold up for gifting and hosting. Best when you show up with a plan and leave with a box that looks like you thought ahead.
Must-Try Dishes: Fruit tart, Opera cake, Seasonal entremets
What Makes it Special: Celebration-ready French pastries that gift and travel well.
