Drunken noodles, drunk in love
Illustration by HANS BENNEWITZ
This is a love letter. A love letter to The Coconut Midtown, a small Thai food eatery at 2502 J Street with more vegan options on the menu than a self-proclaimed vegetarian restaurant in town. Really! Nearly every section of the menu has multiple options, and it’s wonderful the restaurant is accommodating a broader dining population. Granted, many Thai places will make adjustments for herbivore diners, but the Coconut’s got its vegan-friendliness splayed all over its menu. Furthermore, even its side of brown rice is reason enough for returning: dark brown, nutty grains in an inverted-bowl mound. Plus, the drunken noodles may leave taste buds drunk in love—and portions are André the Giant. The Coconut further puts “friendly” into “vegan-friendly” by offering free refills on that sweet glass of vegan Thai ice tea with coconut milk—and offering it in a to-go cup if you’re so full you’re about to burst … with happiness.
