Today, for lunch, it was decided to go to the new (at least we think) Thai restaurant in Manhattan - THE THAI NOODLE. Specifically, just one noodle. However, we ordered many because we were hungry.
Walking into the restaurant, we looked around to see green walls, tables where people were sitting, and a couple happy people working the register and walking around helping the customers of the noodles. Immediately, we were told to sit down wherever we wanted, which was quite wonderful because FREEDOM.
Side note - why are there no knock knock jokes about America? Because freedom rings.
We were given menus and time to decide what to eat. Looking at the menu, it's a lot of noodles, soup, and wonderful Asian inspired dishes. One of those that Jacey wanted to try was Duck Noodle Soup. We did not get that. INSTEAD. Bubble Thai Milk Iced Tea was found on the menu, excited Sidney, and she ordered that. #justlikeThailand
We asked for a bit more time to think about what to get, then it was decided to get the Drunken Noodles, with chicken. It was said that it was going to have rice noodles, garlic, chili, and carrots. We sat for a bit (like a minute) after they took our order and the waitress came out with an extra plate and utensils. We asked for chopsticks (Sidney did), and they were given! WE SUCCESSFULLY ATE OUR WHOLE MEAL WITH CHOPSTICKS.
Be proud. Not too proud. Pride cometh before the fall.
We got our meal maybe five minutes after we ordered it. AND WE BOTH WERE IMPRESSED. The food was beyond yummy, with a bit of a kick in the end. Not too much of a kick, we are both still standing. Actually, we're sitting. Writing this post. Anyways.
The noodles were about an inch wide and there was a wonderful amount of chicken to provide ample protein for stamina throughout the day. As well as carrots, which we all know Jacey would eat by the pound if she could. But then, she would be orange. Magic School Bus taught us that. #carotene
Back to the food, it was wonderful. Sidney has a new favorite restaurant. It was great. ALSO. The Bubble Thai Milk Iced Tea was beyond fantastic. Since Bluestem has ceased giving out bubble tea as an option, sadness has started in the town of Manhattan. THE THAI NOODLE HAS COME TO THE RESCUE. If you are craving bubble tea, go get yourself some. Now. How now brown cow?
We were given our tickets promptly, after our food was all gone from our plates. It was reasonably priced, a little more on the expensive side, but definitely priced correctly. This was well worth the experience and we will definitely be going back!

Also, here are two pictures from today. This was the first and last time we would be able to get together for the rest of the summer, so this was a really sweet time.
Aren't we so attractive? You know why? We're fearfully and wonderfully made!
