Restaurant Description
The Elephant is definitely a diamond within the rough that is the Lower East Side. The current boom of restaurants along east 1st street is creating a neighborhood full of choices, all of which should lead you right through The Elephant's door. The décor is very "New York" with a hammered tin bar, crème colored walls, and lighting that gives you the romantic feel that any restaurants should. You're guaranteed to make friends with your neighbor inside this vibrant friendly restaurant as the seating throughout the dining room puts you comfortably close to one another, and you are sure to leave with the people eating next to you to venture to any of the night clubs and bars that litter the east side when you are done. The cuisine is unmatched, a mix of French and Thai influences, and the list of cocktails is one that you won't find anywhere else. Bring your date or all of your friends and enjoy everything The Elephant has to offer.
