Ginger & Lemongrass

Sometimes, nothing sounds better a massive bowl of steaming pho. When the need arises, head to Ginger and Lemongrass on the Lower East Side. But before the pho, start with a few Vietnamese appetizers: Sweet chili-ginger chicken wings ($11), fresh vegetarian summer wraps ($9) and fried pork-mushroom spring rolls ($9) might pique your interest. For your entree, there’s traditional beef pho ($14), of course, plus a glazed pork belly sandwich ($11), spicy green curry ($15) and other traditional Vietnamese dishes. End the meal with green tea tiramisu or mango mousse cake (both $7).
