There are few places in the city that I can feel comfortable eating alone when everyone is too busy to catch a bite with me. However, My Thai is always the perfect spot. There are several located around the Loop, but my personal favorite (where they know me so well they don't bother giving me a menu) is on Michigan Avenue between Monroe and Madison Sts. Although their choices of music are a little shifty (it ranges from repetitive elevator music to covers of pop songs), their food is absolutely to-die-for. My boyfriend, who happens to live in New York, comes to visit more for their food than to see me. The food ranges from spicy curry dishes to more conservative plates like chicken and broccoli, along with THE BEST crab rangoon I've ever had in my life. They also have a secret stash, occasionally, of the most delicious strawberry ice cream, but it's not on the menu; you have to catch them off guard and ask for it special.

I wouldn't come here for a nice meal or even if I was craving some kind of Thai food. It's just the kind of place you throw in the mix when you're trying to vary the places you go to lunch. You can get in and out fairly quickly for a sit-down place, although I believe you can also make an order to go. The food here is ok - just something so you're not hungry anymore. It's not disgusting, so that's always a good thing! It's also definitely not the prettiest place but it's simple and clean enough so I recommend it if you're looking for a change and aren't looking for a place that's super nice.

My thai restaurant is a hole in the wall type of place in an odd location: smack dab in the center of the city, michigan avenue to be exact. It's your typical thai restaurant, not outrageously priced at all, but it gets busy over lunch. Delivery is two dollars extra and isn't bad, but all these thai places are seeming similar to me. Try it, though.
