We brought our 8 month old here for dinner and waitstaff and management could not have been more accommodating, sweet, grounded, and genuine. A breath of fresh air in New York - thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making us feel like family.

Food was incredible. might be the best thai we’ve had in the city - beef pad see ew, eggplant, and duck curry were highlights. (Not a place for a long dinner - food comes quickly, which is great, but while staff are very nice about it, they want to get you in and out and under an hour)

I booked one of parklife’s solariums for a birthday party and it was the perfect spot- warm enough, even on a very cold December night, and a private comfortable space with good service. Uniquely good for large groups!
