A pair of temporary closures on the East Village Thai food scene

Photos and reporting by Stacie Joy

Pipe problems in the basement have temporarily shuttered Chomp Chomp at 78 E. First St., just east of First Avenue...
No word on when the Thai restaurant will reopen. 

A pipe issue briefly KO'd them earlier this year... glad they left a note this time! 

Meanwhile, Hub Thai remains closed for renovations at 50 Avenue A between Third Street and Fourth Street...
Per a Reddit thread, they are having some issues with their HVAC vent hoods and kitchen systems.
