While the neighborhood suffers no shortage of Thai restaurants, the corner of Lenox Hill where LenoxThai is will not be encumbered by an oversaturated market, with the nearest Thai restaurant over five blocks away.
Meanwhile on Second Avenue, two of the neighborhood's current Thai mainstays, Up Thai and THEP sit just a block apart.
