LOVELY DAY earns its place in the guide as a low-key neighborhood classic. The Thai-American menu makes it a different sort of dinner from the more formal rooms on the list: a place to consider when the aim is simply to meet, eat and spend time together. ELIZABETH STREET also puts it in a different pocket from the CANAL STREET cluster. LOVELY DAY details.
PLAN THE VISIT
Keep the plan proportionate to the occasion. A small dinner before an event does not need its own elaborate itinerary, but guests still need a time, an address and a sense of whether they are eating a full meal. Check the current lunch or dinner menu before sending recommendations to someone with specific dietary needs.
