Sea Thai Bistro: If you’re looking for a way to distract visiting parents from your dilapidated railroad apartment, or want to impress a date who doesn’t generally do Brooklyn, Sea is where you should navigate your ship. A far cry from the original East Village branch, this warehouse-sized space houses outlandish design and confusing bathrooms, but the food is tasty, the drinks are strong, and none of it will bust your budget (though your patience may be wearing thin after the hour-long wait). It was good enough for “Sex and the City” and it was good enough for Garden State, so suck it up, brave the hideous crowds congesting the sidewalk, and embrace the Eurotrashy Thai mothership that is Sea. |
