At the Thammasathiti brothers’ subterranean Dupont spot, Andy runs the bar, slinging hits such as the Oaxacan Dog, which drinks like a fresh green juice spiked with matcha and smoky mezcal. Billy’s menu makes for perfect drinking fare: sesame chips with porky peanut dip, salt-and-pepper shrimp showered with garlic and shallots, duck laab loaded with spice, and lump-crab kani rice. Lean into the underground vibe and ask about the secret menu, where Billy experiments with new dishes.
