    You're too early for plate to pitchfork. I enjoy basa-basa wings. If you've never been to Dove Vivi you really need to eat some.

    Yeah. This one is called Sen Yai. It was supposed to be a curry joint, but instead its noodle house. I think it opened last week. They serve Thai breakfast too.

    It's a noodle house on division and 34th. I can't figure out the name though. We checked out the menu on sunday and it seemed interesting.

    Nong's? I assumed you had. That is a must try. Then buy a bottle of her sauce to take back to LA.
