Ludlow Thai Spot ‘Eat-pisode’ (Hi-Thai) Calls it Quits After a Decade
After a ten-year tenure, Eat-pisode on Ludlow Street (aka Hi-Thai) is out of commission. The “gem-sized Thai bistro” (their words) closed at the end of July without warning or announcement.
Prospective diners are instead met with computer printouts advertising the business for sale, and space for lease. Which is strange, considering the owner’s sister (and restaurant manager) received Community Board 3 approval last month for a beer-wine license to take over.
To give you an idea of historical context, Eat-pisode arrived in November 2007, at a time when the restaurant was flanked on either side by Motor City Bar and Chickie Pig’s. A few years later, ownership modified the identity to Hi-Thai.
Now all three are gone.
