Tuk Tuk
Named for Bangkok’s iconic three-wheeled taxis, Tuk Tuk promises to transport patrons to the Thai capital. Classics such as fried rice and curries (brave the heat and try the spicy Green Curry bowl) join house specialties, including the baked crunchy duck in pineapple coconut curry, and vegan options on the menu at this bright, clean space.
Nestled in the middle of Vernon Boulevard is a new take on an old Irish pub. Woodbines is a quaint and cozy pub with excellent craft beers and a sophisticated pub menu. The menu offers pub favorites like fish n’ chips and chicken curry in great portions. They have a good range of cocktails including their signature cocktail – The LIC Tea. You’ll also find a variety of craft beers, with many local beers from breweries like Singlecut and Rockaway Brewery.
Blend on the Water
Step inside Blend on the Water and you’ll feel closer to the Equator with the hot Latin American menu, drinks, and atmosphere. You’ll find frozen sangria and margaritas and a menu of Latin fusion fare, from the lomo saltado to the homemade ‘Blend Burger.’ Located off the East River, there’s an infectious party feel with music pumping and people dancing. The amazing views of the city can be seen through the ten-foot windows that wrap around the entire restaurant.
