After the 9:00am service at Brooklyn Tabernacle (highly recommend!), I stopped by Ryan Thai — what a gem. Open before noon on Sundays, with peaceful jazz music and a calm atmosphere. Kail and Sandra were super kind, and the Pad Thai truly surprised me: the best I’ve had in NYC in a long time!
A perfect place to reflect and enjoy a delicious meal.
