Thai in downtown Bethlehem
The Thai restaurant I mentioned in August appears close to opening. A sign proclaiming the name as "Thai Thai" has been hung, tables are inside and lights are on. I can't quite figure out "Thai Thai" as a name -- is that to differentiate it from "Vietnamese Thai" or "Italian Thai?" At least it's not a pun like "Thai One On" or "Fit To Be Thai-ed." More to come.

It would cross cultures, but in Mandarain Chinese "tai tai" means someone's wife. Maybe it is owned by a Chinese man's wife who is cooking thai dishes? Hence, Thai Thai? I know, that's stretching it.
I see a garish neon "OPEN" sign in the window today. (I don't think neon is permitted in the historic district.) Hoping to get in soon.
They own a couple of other restaurants, including one in the Stroudsburg area that's pretty good. Can't wait to try it.
