I'm traveling with my partner and his Laotian parents. They've never been to NYC and don't feel comfortable eating at upscale spots or restaurants that are too sceney. Their English is limited and so is what they like to eat. So we're going to focus around Asian-centric meals.
We're also bringing my partner's sister, and we're celebrating her birthday. So for this meal, we want to find something that's a bit more upscale without being too much of a scene for the parents. Maybe a chill sushi spot or some other modern asian (Thai or Viet preferably) spot. And hopefully a cool spot for some drinks after each dinner.
Our current plan:
Dim Sum in Chinatown for lunch
(Nom Wah, Golden Unicorn or Delux Green Bo is our short list)
Dinner in Koreatown followed by nearby drinks
(Shortlist – Osamil, Let's Meat, Her Name is Han, New Won Jo)
Birthday Dinner (sushi, thai, Viet) (We're staying in LES, but anywhere in Manhattan, will work since we'll be doing touristy things all over this day.)
There are so many places to look in NY, so figured you all could help us out with some recs!
