Once discovering Thai food in Worcester, it can be very difficult to stray from the alluring flavor of the Pad Thai. Between the noodles, chicken, and shrimp it is notably a staple of Thai. Escaping Worcester briefly tonight, a few yards into Shrewsbury, I found myself at The Thai Place (yes, the name is pretty straightforward) being tempted by something other than the pad thai—the Imperial Lamb. Besides being a great cut of lamb (with bone), the seasoning and grilling—combined with the standard “no thrills” steamed thai veggies—came together perfectly to offer a suitable alternative to the pad thai. Moral of the story: if you stray from the known enough times, at least one of those times you’ll find a suitable alternative.

Pumpkin Cheesecake
There are a few restaurants in the city that make their own desserts from scratch—some, like Sweet and Luciano’s, have made a name for their diverse flavors and styles, but Dante’s Restaurant on Shrewsbury Street has a few worth sinking your fork into. Much like the seasonal Pumpkin Cheesecake. The perfect way to welcome the end of Fall.
