Lovely Day Is Your Trusted Neighborhood Thai Joint

[tw-divider]The Scoop[/tw-divider]

• Lovely Day, a fun Thai-style diner turning out budget-friendly comfort food, has built up an almost cult-like following of hipsters and Nolita-dwellers; hurry in before the hype machine completely exposes this gem of a cafe to the masses
• The stylish owner, Kazusa Jibiki, incorporates her artistic vision into the decor with red-topped tables and diner-style leather booths, an old-fashioned soda fountain, and vintage floral wallpaper; not your typical habitat for Thai food
• Jibiki has hooked her admirers with the tried-and-true pad Thai, spicy green curry (eggplant, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushroom, chili pepper, fresh Thai basil, light oyster sauce, and rice), ginger-fried chicken (spicy aioli and lime), and cocktails like the ginger lime drop, and crispy banana rolls for dessert. Most menu items are priced between $6-$12
