Walking home from the Grand Army Plaza subway station, I noticed that Lemongrass, the Thai restaurant between Lincoln and Berkeley Place on Seventh Avenue is closed.
The windows are painted over and there is no sign that they are renovating.
Breaking: Turns out another Thai restaurant is going into the Lemongrass Grill space. It’s called Spice Thai. There is no sign on the window yet to explain the changeover .
Lemongrass Grill was in the neighborhood for many years. I remember eating there when my son, who is now 19, was just a toddler. They have a nice backyard and we sat out there one day when he was just a wee thing.
I always liked their food a lot and have eaten there many times, especially their Pad See Yew, which is one of my favorite dishes in the world. I also liked the restaurant’s decor and thought the service was good and fast. They were also very friendly all the many times I took food to go.
Good bye Lemongrass Grill. Hello Spice Thai.
So many curry restaurants were getting a “C” from the health inspectors that they
reprinted the “C” Rating window cards making the “C” now in YELLOW
To alert the public that if they want curry, subcontinent or SE asian fare
they simply have to look for a health rating sign in bright yellow-
Hooray for one world……
