EV Eatery Etc.: Rhong Tiam scrubs its old exterior; Peels tosses some planters?

King Gyro on First Avenue recently opened... quite a lot on the menu...




...and awfully green inside ...



The old Rhong Tiam exterior on Second Avenue and Fifth Street got a scrubbing...

Jan. 10!



Now!



The DOH shutters Montein Thai Cuisine on Third Avenue near 12th Street...



A reader noted that these planters were lined up by the curb outside Peels on the Bowery this past weekend... Was Peels tossing them?


And BoweryBoogie noted that GWAR frontman Oderus Urungus is hosting a happy hour tomorrow at Idle Hands on Avenue B.

    No they wren't tossing them! This is their way of giving back. Instead of selling them are actually giving them away. I think that's very nice.

    That 2nd Ave and 5th St. site is just a waste now, but it worked so well for ages as a diner. Can we get those guys to move back across the street?

    Rhong Tiam showed they actually knew something about the neighborhood: they put up plastic sheeting on the windows. So all they had to do was peel the graffiti off.
    Even though the hot pink did match the color scheme.

    Anyone know the scoop on Montien? I saw that yesterday and regret that I have eaten there many times. Oh well, I'm still alive.
