Timeless Afghan restaurant, full of pillows, furnishings, artwork from Afghanistan. Somehow its setting on St Marks Place is just right, because it fits in neatly with the anarchy all around it. I've tried nearly everything on the menu, and remember the exotic-sounding dishes from 15 years ago that no longer sound so exotic. The taste of pomegranite, of pumpkin-filled turnovers, of noodles with meat and yogurt sauce. Along with neighboring Dojo, this was a sort of punk heaven long ago.

On St Marks again recently I hit my favorite places (Dojo, Khyber Pass, Grand Sichuan, and La Palapa, plus the underground Japanese grocery store) all in a week, but Klong Thai really stands out as the best of the new Thai places in the East Village. Although related to Sea, Spice, Peep and Isle, the design is ultra-funky and the crowd seems to be mix of St Marks usual suspects and tourists. I'll get to my other faves later, but Klong really is good news.
