The not bad: Tue Thai Food in the West Village, where we ducked in after the Saturday Greenmarket rather than head home and recycle leftovers for a fast lunch and where I made the mistake of trusting a certain Tyro No More, who’d recommended the roast duck noodles in NYMag’s delivery issue. That wasn’t on the lunch menu, but the charming waitress brought the dinner menu to show me how it was described and how much it cost — $5 more than the four-item lunch specials. I would not have been happy if I hadn’t tried the stuff, but I envied Bob his four-item lunch special of good Thai fish cake with peanuts and sweet-hot sauce, spicy drunken noodles with tofu and bamboo shoots, green salad and Thai iced tea, which tasted as if it had been steeped in an ashtray but grew on me. I had to slog through only a big bowl of bland noodles in bland broth with a surfeit of duck that tasted the way duck all too often does in restaurants: verging on geriatric. Extra points to the waitress for delivering two choices when I asked for hot sauce. WIGB? Sure. It’s in the right place at our right time. 3 Greenwich Avenue at Sixth Avenue, 212 929 9888
