Evil goodness

With the weather finally turning, it’s time to indulge in some hearty comfort food—the kind that keeps you feeling a little warmer and safer in this crazy mixed-up world. Orchid Thai’s Evil Jungle Prince ($11.95) is just the ticket on a blustery night. Despite the nefarious sound of its name, this red curry dish is nothing but goodness with its abundance of tofu and vegetables. Order it spicy or try it “Thai spicy” if you’re feeling particularly brave. 1609 16th Street, http://www.orchidthai916.com.
