Just for the record, Redhook Brooklyn is New York City, Not upstate New York

Right u r, wooly. I lived along the Hudson River years ago and often went to Red Hook, so that set my memory. Never been to Brooklyn.

Some confusion here...

Red Hook, New York is a town in Dutchess County on the Hudson River. I'm quite familiar with the area myself, having grown up near the Hudson Highlands.

Red Hook, Brooklyn - where the restaurant is located - is a neighbourhood in that borough. It played a significant role during the Revolution, and was the site of Fort Defiance and extensive earthworks facing New York Bay.

From the 1920s to the the 1960s it was the busiest freight port in the world. It was also one of the toughest hoods in NY, producing thugs as diverse as Al Capone, Norman Mailer, and Busta Rhymes. Marlon Brando's film 'On the Waterfront' made it well known to people who otherwise wouldn't have gone anywhere near it.

In recent years it has undergone some gentrification and the Khao Soy Restaurant seems to be part of that trend. Even during its worst years it was famous for what many consider to be the best pizza in New York.

Buon appetito!

If it's more than a buck and half for Kao Soi they can keep it.

I'll guess 12.95 usd without even looking + hefty sales tax(es) in New Yawk.

If it's more than a buck and half for Kao Soi they can keep it.

Or they can come to Thailand. I think a lot of local businesses would consider New Yorkers a big improvement over the Chinese.
