HAGS expands its pay-what-you-can model from brunch to a national dinner series featuring collaborative pop-ups with partner restaurants across the United States.
Sreparplarn ran the Brooklyn fiery Thai spot for seven years and shuttered it in late 2024. The Carroll Gardens original - known for spicy regional dishes like kua kling curry, kang hoh pork stew, and a duck salad that helped draw hours-long lines, plus an underrated beer list - closed in late December so Sreparplarn could take a break and work on a cookbook, while his onetime staff carries on at 407 Smith Street with their own Thai spot, Hungry Thirsty.
I think no matter where we are in the city, though, it reflects such a wide swath of great restaurants around New York, Fitzpatrick said. Not only that, we're bringing in great spots, great dishes, and great chefs from around the country to collaborate that's my favorite part personally, these collaborations that you literally can only get there. It's like a unicorn, it just exists for a fleeting moment.
