Lemon Leaf Closes its Doors [Empty in Smithtown]

The Thai restaurant opened in July of last year.

Lemon Leaf, the Thai restaurant that took over the former home to the Korean barbecue restaurant Genghis Khan on Smithtown's Main Street, has closed.

The restaurant opened in July of last year.

“We get a lot of takeout and delivery business, it is more popular than dining," Lemon Leaf waitress Jin Ho told Patch days after opening.

The second Thai restaurant to open on Main Street, just up the road from longtime Thai restaurant Thai House, took the former Genghis Khan home after owner Eric Chang said his business outgrew its location.

“It’s a little small for us, we have a tiny seating room … We are planning to move to a bigger place,” Chang said.

How, in a period of rapidly declining enrollment, can costs be increasing so much from year to year,Read More you ask? The answer is in front of you in black and white. I urge you to READ your district’s budget: we are funding retirements when many of us cannot afford to fund our own during difficult economic times. These wheels were set in motion by contracts negotiated in times of unrealistic growth that may likely not occur again. It is time to open up these plans and relieve this unfair burden from our shoulders. Whatever other measures are pursued in order to control costs, including consolidation within and eventually with other districts, are never going to be enough if you cannot get this problem corrected. Write your congressman, for the love of God. If you need any more incentive to do so, please go to http://rocdocs.democratandchronicle.com/database/teacher-pensions-new-york and look at what Smithtown’s retirees are collecting MONTHLY. It will sicken you.
