StreetLevel: New Thai Restaurant for Prospect Hts
We don’t frequent this stretch Washington, so we have no idea whether the large sign proclaiming “Thai Food Coming Soon” in the storefront on St. Marks has been there for a while. Assuming it hasn’t, does anyone know the ETA on the new restaurant? Think it’ll be a welcome addition to the Prospect Heights food scene? GMAP

almost anything would be a welcome addition to the food scene on Washington Avenue.

The great thing about really spicy Thai food is that not only does it burn on the way down; the next day, it burns on the way out too!
Boo Ya Ca!

"almost anything would be a welcome addition to the food scene on washington"
WHAT FOOD SCENE?
Please, trolls looking for development opps... take a look at the value of the apartments in all the pre-war bldgs lining E Pkwy on both sides of Washington. Look at the value of the co-ops on the side streets. We're here, we're hungry, and we got money to spend.
Now how 'bout something slightly more upscale like Joyce or Cheryl's on Washington within 2 blocks of E Pkwy?

It's taken years for Vanderbilt to pick up any foodie steam. It's gonna be quite a while longer before Washington follows suit. Not hating, just opining.

Bring it!! I'm taking the B45 from St. Johns on opening day.
Also note: New restaurant opening on Franklin between St. Johns and Sterling.
Walked past a new restaurant that is prepping for an open on Sat. Dec 1. I talked to one of the owners. The place looks upscale for Franklin, nice wood/glass doors, large space. The food is southern and will include authentic bbq. He gave me a flyer for the opening nite (which I cannot find). Its a dance party $10/cover R&B. He said they did not want the hip/hop crowd, but the older/professional crowd from the 'nabe.
Do your thing and support local restaurants. Check the place out after Dec. 1.
Crown Heights Proud!

The thai place is being done by the same people who run AM Thai in Kensington. It's not Sripraphai, but it's waaaaay better thank Mango, or any of that other Park Slope slop.

I have to agree with the other posters. This are of Washington stretching from Clinton Hill through Prospect Heights is becoming very developed (in terms of condos), but the businesses aren't following. I find it very strange.

Isn't there usually a lag time of several years between housing price increases and actual amenities appearing? Particularly given the recent unreasonable and unsustainable price run-ups of recent years?

Guest at 3:43-- Fulton Thai would probably deliver to you. It is on Fulton St. and Clinton. They're good.

Relief IS on the way. There is an excellent Mexican on Classon, four blocks in from Eastern Parkway. There is actually a new Greek on Washington, and beloved old Tom's, of course. The people at the new Thai place seem really nice and eager to add a new flavor, as it were, to the neighborhood. If they're anywhere near as good as their Park Slope alternatives, they'll be laughing all the way to the bank.
