Sad news for lovers of meatless Thai fare—East Village eatery Pukk will shutter after service tomorrow.
EV Grieve spotted a farewell sign posted in the 1st Avenue restaurant's window today, and an employee confirmed to us that tomorrow is Pukk's last day. The 11-year-old eatery will be replaced by a Spice outpost in April, so there'll still be Thai food on the block.
The loss of Pukk's wealth of delectable vegan and vegetarian options, though, will certainly leave a hole in the neighborhood. Crispy "duck" salad, we'll miss you most of all.
