Boring snow storm night in Connecticut turned to fun thanks to Trivia in New Haven with friends at the NOA by September in Bangkok ❄️🔥

Recently, I had the chance to check out NOA, a Thai-Lao restaurant in the heart of downtown New Haven, and let me tell you—this place isn’t just about food; it’s an entire vibe. From the moment we walked in, the energy was electric. The space is modern, sexy, and effortlessly cool, the kind of place where you instantly feel like you’re in the right spot for a great night.

I went with my brother and some influencer friends to have fun, play some trivia, try the food and create some content together.

The night got fun when the Espresso Martinis came out. They had 5 different variations to this old time favorite: S’mores, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Mint, Cookies and Maple Cinnamon and Peanut Butter Chocolate. The best part of the night was being able to get together with my bestie, Thuy and collaborate together.

Between the food, the drinks, and the trivia, I had such a great time. NOA isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience—and one that I’ll definitely be back for.
