Are you in the mood for fantastic Thai food (try the famous Crispy Duck or Pad Thai) and people watching at the same time? Ask for seating in the atrium section of this popular Yale-area bistro, located across the street from the Yale Rep. The crowd is diverse and chatty, the delicious servings are more than adequate, and the friendly staff is willing to pack it up to take home. No wonder New Haveners think Bangkok Gardens is the best Thai food in town. Check out the vegetarian offerings. Catering available.
