Everyone Agrees We Need This New Restaurant in the Hudson Valley
It's rare that we can all agree on something, but it turns out nearly the entire Hudson Valley is looking for the same thing when it comes to one specific type of restaurant.
There are some truly spectacular dining options in our corner of New York (including some of the coolest food trucks in the country), and chefs across multiple counties have been nationally recognized for their talents. Still, many residents feel there's something missing.

Is the Hudson Valley Missing a Great Thai Restaurant?
"We need Thai food in Kingston. We have a dozen Chinese restaurants but no Thai", came the first answer. "There is no place including Albany for "authentic" Thai food", said another. "I love Thai food. If you ever find a good place, please let me know", added a third. Luckily, some enthusiasts were there to save the day.

"Wasana's on Main St [in] Catskill... I have eaten there for over 20 years and have never been disappointed" offered one helpful commenter. "Issan Thai Star in Hudson is hands down the best Thai in the Hudson Valley", offered another. Aroi Thai in Rhinebeck, NY, Bangkok Café in New Paltz, NY, and Lopburi Thai in Wappingers Falls, NY were also mentioned.
