Andy Ricker Will Move Pok Pok Phat Thai to Brooklyn

Late this fall, Andy Ricker plans to move Pok Pok Phat Thai, the only Manhattan restaurant of his Pok Pok trio, closer to its Brooklyn siblings Pok Pok Ny and Whiskey Soda Lounge. The Times reports that Ricker will relocate Phat Thai to 127 Columbia Street, which is where Pok Pok Ny originally resided before it moved to a larger space up the block last year. This latest move, which is set to take place this November, will also be a space upgrade for Phat Thai, which is currently a tiny Lower East Side takeout shop with one narrow counter. Once the move takes place, Ricker will have three restaurants on what is essentially a single block of the Columbia Waterfront District. No word yet on whether Ricker will also expand the Phat Thai menu with the move, but in keeping with tradition, the restaurant will almost certainly be blessed by monks.
