Second Ave. (bet. 5th and 6th)
(212) 260-8018
Chef/Owner – Andy Yang (known for his authentic Bangkok cuisine at sister restaurant “Rhong-Tiam”)
Cocktails/Mixology – Sasha Petraske (of Milk & Honey, White Star)
Desserts – Pichet Ong (of Spice Market, Batch & P*Ong)
Designer – Karim Rashid (he designed everything from the wallpaper to the furniture)

Late night kitchen (Thai/Asian), Cocktail Bar, Dessert Lounge and Live DJ
Fabulous cocktails in comfy lounge seating, rockin’ DJ, amazing appetizers, a complete Thai dinner (at a proper table),  very LATE-night dining, or maybe just an unusual dessert – Kurve, is the spot!

The cocktail menu is one of the most diverse around – ginger caipirinha is fab – we had ours made with cognac, for the winter. Jae loved the cucumber cocktail and the Thai Chili Margarita is definitely unique. Small plates/appetizers are perfect with the luscious cocktails – try mango shrimp croquettes, fresh lobster roll, dumplings…be adventurous!

The best formula, for dining at Kurve, is to share dishes – order a bunch of small plates, salads, some entrees, some “classics” and “sides”. Don’t miss the delectable Roti / Green Curry.

Marlen’s fav dish, was excellent Grilled Duck Breast  w/ Kumquat reduction-In fact, he wanted seconds-instead, we tried  Crispy Duck Breast/Garlic Gravy. Skip the Peking Duck Summer Rolls, until they add more duck. The “sea” choices are first-rate- If you’re into whole fish, the Crispy Red Snapper is fantastic. Pad Thai “Omelette” is an unusual take on this classic dish.

Dessert and Cocktails are always interesting together, especially late at night -  Andy Yang’s Tiramisu is one of a kind, but a fab cocktail and some delicious apps, are a novelty,even in NYC, at 4AM!
