We love it when our favorite dinner places start opening for lunch because that means we can take advantage of the lower prices and set menus. At Nahm (Metropolitan, Sathorn Rd., 02-625-3388) you can now enjoy a shorter version of their a la carte menu or, a lunch set (B1,100 per person, Mon-Fri...
Q Bar might have seemed pretty quiet over the past couple of months, well that’s because they’ve been renovating their downstairs dance floor. But not to worry: their space featuring three new bars will be unveiled next week. The opening act to test out the facilities will be legendary...
Earlier this year, Muse (Thong Lor Soi 10, Sukhumvit Rd., 089-988-5995) extended its small and packed second floor with a cute and comfy little balcony, a bigger dancing space and pool tables in the middle. This month, The Roof by Muse Thonglor is reopening with added floors above. The spacey, laid...
In addition to savory nibbles and affordable cocktails, the big draw at Extra Virgin has always been the space itself. Which is why we’re a bit sad and suspicious that the Thong Lor area institution is moving from its house and garden to the hip enclave H1 (998 Thonglor Rd., 02-381-8696). The...
But wait, there’s more cheese (and other stuff) in store. In celebration of their ninth anniversary, the Franco-Thai Chamber of Commerce is organizing the Bonjour French Fair 2011 (www.bonjour-french-fair.com) at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center on Dec 8-11. Admission is free, and the...

Witch Pie Factory has recently relocated from Thong Lor Soi 1 to a quiet spot on Sukhumvit Soi 65 (02-391-1311, open 9am-6pm). See our original review at http://tiny.cc/um59n.
The second floor space at K. Village, where Rainbow Roll Sushi was, seems a bit cursed. But perhaps the newest arrival will break the spell with its winning name: Heawen for Burger Devils (02-661-5052). That’s not a typo: it’s a w, not a v. Cute na? They do Thai-inspired burgers like...
Coffee and wine bar Roast (2/F, Seenspace, Thong Lor Soi 13, 02-185-2865) is pairing three Kobus Deetlef wines from South Africa with in-house dishes on Nov 28, from 7pm onwards.
