Tables for One: Aceluck Thai

This one was easy, and thank goodness, because I have three jobs at the moment, and barely enough time to write about what I eat. Aceluck Thai! Recommended to me by fellow artist-slash-telemarketers (albeit high-class ones, after all, the National Symphony Orchestra isn’t exactly the Fuller Brush Company), I spent an hour’s pay on my dinner there on my first day of work with them, and kept going back for the Tom Yum because it was the only thing that helped my allergies last month.
It’s in Hell’s Kitchen, it’s got that railroad car, cozy, narrow feel that I love in a little treasure of a restaurant, and it’s green inside, which reminds me of all of my favorite things. My perfect meal: the Thai Spring Rolls, with a Tom Yum soup (I take it with tofu), and some Thai rice, a la carte, which add up to about $9.50. You don’t need more than that. But you can always have more, or maybe just some beer, wine, or saké with it. They’re also on the menu.
