If your grandma decided to open a Thai restaurant in one of the hottest neighborhoods in town, she'd end up with something that looks like Lovely Day. An unassuming Thai fusion joint plopped down in Nolita, the diner booths and quaint patterned wallpaper set the stage for dishes like hobo noodles with oyster sauce and spicy chili. Interestingly, the (dinner) fusion here is vaguely half Japanese, and small plates include edamame, seaweed salad and kimono fried shrimp. As if that isn't kooky enough for you, Lovely Day mixes up breakfast by harkening the luck of the Irish. While a Thai-Japanese-Irish combo isn't anywhere close to the most obvious of pairings, somehow this restaurant makes them all work.
