More About
Of course, the classic Siamese salad hails from the northeastern region of Isaan, and focuses on shredded green papaya, which imparts a pleasantly sour and crunchy mien to the recipe. Find it at Mai Thai (4618 Eighth Avenue, Sunset Park, Brooklyn)—will these horrible puns never cease?—made extra crunchy with crushed peanuts and miniature dried shrimp. There's a small wooden deck on the south side of the restaurant, which provides a fine view of the setting sun. If you go for super-spicy, check out the rendition at Ayada (77-08 Woodside Avenue, Elmhurst, Queens). The Cambodians have gotten in on the act, too, and at Kampuchea Noodle Bar (78 Rivington Street), you'll find a papaya salad pelted with duck and glistening with a chile-lime dressing.
We've saved one of the best for last: the Niçoise salad, name-checking the Riviera city of Nice. Always served in a big bowl with a pungent vinaigrette, the salad assembles canned tuna (no mayo!), tomatoes, potatoes, boiled eggs, red peppers, anchovies, and olives—a compendium of Provençal ingredients. If you get it at A.O.C. (314 Bleecker Street), you can consume it in the trellised backyard patio, where the tourist hubbub of the West Village seems kilometers away. For a more portable version, check out Payard Pâtisserie (1032 Lexington Avenue), which usually offers the same salad on a torpedo-shaped roll—perfect for that picnic or concert in Central Park. And, having had a lighter meal, you're less likely to fall asleep during the violin concerto.
