Our take: Thailand’s textures and flavors come to Lincoln Square dressed for dinner: tablecloths, cloth napkins, and curry puffs that earn the name over the door. Finish with mango sticky rice and a long exhale.

Wine Pairing: Curry puffs and fortune crab rangoon call for something sparkling or a dry Chenin Blanc. For the panang and the kao soi, reach for an off-dry Riesling or a Gewürztraminer.

Beer Pairing: A Pilsner or a Helles keeps the palate clean between bites of larb and puff pastry. A Saison with a peppery finish is the adventurous call.

Spirits Pairing: Gin and tonic with a cucumber ribbon fits the herbs. A rum highball with lime works with the sweeter curries and the pineapple puff.
