Soothr

Found in the East Village, this Thai restaurant is the labour of love of a group of good friends who grew up in different regions of Thailand, each bringing their own take on Thai cuisine and a host of family recipes that have been handed down over generations. These traditional recipes aim to create top-notch comfort food that makes you feel more like you're eating a family meal than a restaurant dish. Fun fact: 'Soothr' (pronounced 'Sood') is the Thai word for 'recipe' and not part of the seemingly relentless marketing trend to take vowels out of normal words (what the heck is that about?).
