Let's have a bit of history here.  Isaan Providence is in the northeast region of Thailand, surrounded by Laos to the East and North, Thailand to the West and Cambodia to the South with Mekong River bordering it's Northern boundary.  The flavors and some of the ingredients that are prevalent are lime, chili peppers, cilantro, sticky rice, fresh fruits and vegetables, sticky rice, mint, peanuts and other fresh herbs.  

Beef Ping Kati Sod

Grilled coconut milk marinated beef skewers with boiled rice noodles

$13.00

Two of my friends, sisters Jen & Michelle recommended this place as this was our first time visiting and it was such a pleasant experience.  This was a wonderful treat for me because Jen & Michelle were on their way to Brazil for an 9 months internship.    

The waitstaff was very welcoming, knowledgeable about the items on the menu with recommendations.   The beef was so tender, spicy and so well seasoned, you can tell that it was marinated.  I liked the idea of it being on skewers which is one of the arts of eating.  The boiled rice noodles had a lot of  flavor and unfortunately it went fast.  

Stop by and treat yourself to a part of NY Thailand that is tasty, well seasoned and take a journey without getting on the plane.
