MaKiinNy is now open in the East Village Thai space on 7th Street

On Friday, MaKiinNy debuted at 32 E. Seventh St. between Second Avenue and Cooper Square.

This is the former home of East Village Thai, which closed in July after 20-plus years in business. As EVG contributor Stacie Joy first noted, the owner's daughter was taking over the space for her own take on Thai cuisine here.

An EVG reader shared these photos from Saturday.

There are several rice and noodle options, such as the popular Thai dish khao mun gai ($10)...



The beverages include a Thai iced tea and Thai iced coffee.

MaKiinNy is open Monday-Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and then 5 to 9:30 p.m. They are closed Sundays. The interior includes a counter and several stools for eat-in dining.

Their delivery isn't set up just yet.

MaKiinNy will reopen on Dec. 17.

H/T to Steven for checking on the opening last week!

East Village Thai will be staying in the family

East Village Thai, a local favorite these past 20 years over on Seventh Street between Second Avenue and Cooper Square, closed after service on Sunday.

EVG contributor Stacie Joy spotted the family in the restaurant yesterday and stopped in to thank them for their years of service in the neighborhood.

Turns out that the daughter of the owners is taking over the lease, and opening her own Thai noodle shop here in the months ahead.

East Village Thai has closed

East Village Thai fans were saddened to learn that the small restaurant on Seventh Street between Second Avenue and Cooper Square closed after service on Sunday.

The restaurant's owners first made the announcement on Facebook on Saturday before their last day...



EVG reader Mackenzie, who first brought this to my attention, ate there last Wednesday. The owners made no mention of the impending closure.



Back in 2012, the Daily News said that EVT served some of the best Pad Thai in the city.

East Village Thai will be closed for a few weeks

The Daily News blows the secret of East Village Thai

The Daily News yesterday gave major props to the pad Thai at East Village Thai at 32 E. Seventh St. — ranking it among the best in the city.

Per the article:

The bean sprouts are crispy, the shrimp is plump, and both the flavor and portions are oversized. East Village residents would probably like to keep this hidden gem their own little secret, but such tasty Pad Thai, which is best when paired with a bright orange Thai iced tea, should be shared with the masses.
