That’s it, people. We’ve hit a major point in the evolution of modern Bushwick: Bushwick is getting its first Thai restaurant. On the way home from the Associated the other day, we saw for ourselves what Armstrong has been saying for a couple weeks. “Long Do” will open “soon” at 214 Knickerbocker. A peek in the windows displayed several tables and lots of “this place is Thai” decorative touches.
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.

hey, thanks for the credit. anyone try googling “long do” yet? it’s quite funny. I’m curious what’s going on with the space to the right of this place. it was a very well reviewed Ecuadorian restaurant that I always meant to try. workers at the laundromat a few doors down told me it’s been closed for a few months.

I noticed this today, and my eyes nearly started tearing up, I was so happy. I’ve lived in Bushwick for about seven years and I’ve always said, If only there was a Thai restaurant it wouldn’t be so bad. My wish of seven long years has finally come true.

Here’s a cautionary tale for “Danimal”, just in case you’re being sincere and not facetious. For years, I wished an Indian restaurant would open in my neighborhood. When finally I saw one getting ready to open–and a mere five-minute walk from my house at that–I could barely contain my glee and anticipation. But then it turned out to be “just average” and overpriced as well. It was a bigger disappointment to me than it would have been if I hadn’t yearned for it so ardently.
