We got together with a friend of Pat's from grad school, Katie, and her husband Anand last night. They proposed a Thai place close to their apartment in Chelsea and to our surprise it turned out to be another location of Room Service, a restaurant we hold in very high esteem in another location in Hell's Kitchen. This Chelsea location of Room Service is probably better because a) we had no wait at 7:30 on a Friday night - the other location seemed busier, and 2) the downside of the other location is that it's quite loud; this place wasn't exactly quiet, but quietER. Yes, I'm slightly deaf. I have auditory neuropathy (seriously). I like quiet places.
Anyway I strayed from the winning Spicy Basil Noodles of my last two Room Service visits, and got red curry with beef. It was plenty good, but I should have stuck with Spicy Basil Noodles.
Afterward we went to the Doughnut Plant. This is a very appealing space, with a doughnut motif everywhere. But three of us were disappointed by our doughnuts - the yeast dough was kind of dryish and uninspiring, even though the fillings were good. Anand was very pleased with the coffee, for what it's worth.
