GOOD EATS NYC 2024 (A Blanket Thread)

CHALONG A nice addition to the Thai options on 9th Ave. Yum Som-O / Pomelo and cured & fried branzino salad — I love pomelo salad, this had a bit of crunchy fish added. The dressing was slightly too intense with what seemed like reduced fish sauce, but it was a good dish overall Phuket Pak Mor / Rice dumpling stuffed with peanuts — Pass. It was fine, but I would rather have eaten several other things. Pla Tod / Fried whole fish — This was nice, though pushed on us as “the most popular dish”…
