$2 Beer & $5 Pad Thai All Day at Cafetasia on Avenue A b/t 5th & 6th Street

Date February 19, 2010

I walked fourteen blocks for Indian take out from Punjab but before I got home I stopped for Pad Thai.  I was compelled by the big poster behind the window of Cafetasia: $2 Beer & $5 Pad Thai All Day.  My immediate thought was that the Pad Thai would make a good appetizer for my three Indian curries.  But surprisingly, Cafetasia’s $5 bowl of Pad Thai is filling despite the presence of  just 3 measly shrimp (you can also choose beef or chicken).  Asking for my Pad Thai “spicy” didn’t offer much heat and unfortunately allowed several over-saturated pockets of crushed peanut dominate the dish’s flavor.  Ask for hot sauce on the side to avoid this.

With Blue Moon, Sierra Nevada, Brooklyn Lager and Sapporo on tap and Singha and Amstel Light in bottles all for $2, all day, this is a deal worth trying as long as it exists, which for now is indefinitely.
