One of "Joe Jonas’ Favorite Neighborhood Hangs," and earning acclaim from Gotham Magazine & The Infatuation, Good Thanks goes beyond its name. Greatness is more accurate, yet this humble Lower East Side gem is making waves for its Australian inspired aesthetic & cuisine.
Grab your $59 pulse (a $119 value) for a 3 Course Dinner For Two that includes 1 Appetizer, 2 Entrees, 1 Dessert, and 2 Cocktails, Glasses of Wines, or Beers.
A pulsd favorite by way of its Williamsburg sister, Good Thanks is ready to give your nights a Sydney twist, filling its seats with chic denizens and A-listers who adore the charm & chatter that hums throughout. Think white-washed brick, candles, warm wood banquettes, and an open window with chairs that look onto the streets for major people-watching as the sun sets.
Clink glasses of masterfully mixed Espresso Martinis or savor a dreamy red vintage as you slice into Scallop Crudo to start, moving onto a plate of succulent Steak Frites with house made pepper sauce. A dessert of Sticky Date Pudding seals the deal on a night that's nothing short of sweet & sensational.
From down under to the Big Apple, every second you spend in this treasure will make this night one you'll crave again & again...
Good Thanks burst onto the Lower East Side dining scene and quickly became one of the neighborhood's most beloved gems. Founded by Australian native Will Rees, the restaurant brought a distinctly Down Under warmth and sensibility to the streets of Manhattan, earning a loyal following that stretches well beyond its chic, cozy confines.
Its success was so resounding that it gave rise to a stunning sister restaurant in Williamsburg, cementing Good Thanks as one of the city's most exciting and expansive dining concepts. Whether you're a longtime regular or a first-timer, stepping inside feels like a mini escape to Australia without ever leaving the Lower East Side.
The kitchen is in the exceptionally capable hands of Williamsburg local and Chopped champion Chef Marty Freda. With an impressive résumé that includes beloved Brooklyn institutions like Allswell and Winona's, Chef Freda brings both technical mastery and a deep sense of place to every dish he creates. It's the kind of food that feels both comforting and surprising, a difficult balance that Chef Freda strikes with apparent ease.
When it comes to the nosh, Good Thanks delivers on all fronts. Dinner is where the restaurant truly shines, with standout dishes that include a light-as-air whipped ricotta, a golden and satisfying chicken schnitzel, and a killer steak frites that has become something of a signature. The ever-changing seasonal menu keeps the lineup dynamic, while superb cocktails and wine are equally worthy of attention, best clonked with your date or your crew.
Stars like Joe Jonas call it a top pick, and they've earned well-deserved applause from the tastemakers at Eater and The Infatuation. So rally your foodie squad, or plan a date night that's equal parts Aussie sunshine and Manhattan cool...
All selections are made from the restaurant's full dinner menu.
