Whether you’re on your way to a sold-out concert, a New York Islanders game, or another event at UBS Arena, the evening doesn’t have to begin when you walk through the arena doors. Many guests make dinner part of the experience, and Bell Boulevard in Bayside is a great place to start the night.
Just a short drive from UBS Arena, Erawan Thai Cuisine offers authentic Thai food in a relaxed setting where you can enjoy a freshly prepared meal before the excitement begins. Instead of rushing to the venue hungry or waiting in concession lines, you can take your time, share a meal with friends or family, and arrive ready to enjoy the event.
Why So Many Guests Eat Before the Event
Anyone who has attended a popular concert or Islanders game knows that the area around the arena gets busy. Traffic builds, parking takes time, and concession lines can be long once the doors open.
That’s why many visitors choose to enjoy dinner beforehand. A relaxed meal gives everyone a chance to catch up, celebrate a special occasion, or simply make the evening feel complete before heading to Elmont.
