A Sign That Bushwick Has Officially Arrived?
BushwickBK’s got a post on the impending opening of the neighborhood’s very first Thai restaurant. The blog calls it a major point in the evolution of modern Bushwick…We all know that the Thai restaurant is the ultimate harbinger of Hipsterdom.

BushwickBK’s got a post on the impending opening of the neighborhood’s very first Thai restaurant. The blog calls it a major point in the evolution of modern Bushwick…We all know that the Thai restaurant is the ultimate harbinger of Hipsterdom. Soon, we’ll have 7 within a 60 second walk of each other. The restaurant is supposed to open soon at 214 Knickerbocker Avenue.

bushwick is fucking ugly and smelly.
“Eccentric” and “exotic” are two different things, Thai person.
Thai person back again…
I still have to say that I get annoyed “Thai” being linked to “hip”.
It used to be that “Thai” was always linked to “exotic”.
I wonder at the mechanism that causes these language linkages.
Signed,
Non-Hip Thai (More like “Eccentric Thai”)
Underwhelming? To me it’s quite whelming. When yo’ve had next to nothing, anything sounds like something!
Even if it’s weak I’ll gladly take it over the neighborhood’s nasty and ubiquitous chinese. (please be decent)
That’s PlanEAT Thai, bub.
“I guess this place is its Planet Thai.”
I don’t see “smash hit” coming out of here. But, I may be wrong.
The post is tongue in cheek, as Williamsburg’s first smash hit restaurant was Planet Thai, an offshoot of Thai Cafe in Greenpoint. These places begat more thai restaurants than I care to think about. So they are creeping out on the L train.
If Northeast Kingdom is Bushwick’s L Cafe, I guess this place is its Planet Thai. Maybe Life Cafe counts more but that is pushing into the fabled “East Williamsburg”
Do you know how fish sauce is made? Scary.
Thai was indicative of ‘hip’ in 1982.
This post just indicates that Brownstoner does not understand what makes something ‘hip’.
While I am nauseated by this suggestion, I would say that the ‘cutsie’ girlie stores with $100 T-Shirts and $300 purses are probably the current watermark of gentrification.
