+ Tropical Thai tables accepting wishes
It’s hard not to notice the elephants surrounding your plate and the monkeys swinging from trees while dining at Tropical Thai on Main Street.

The animals, carved into 20 tables at the restaurant, hail from Thailand. Since the first table arrived, diners have been slipping coins beneath the glass. When an employee travels back home, the money is taken to the Thai temples to benefit children.
