Moon Shadow is closed! Make way for a Baskin Robbins/Dunkin' Donuts

Moon Shadow was in a war you might not quite know about with The Thai Cafe - and, now that it has closed, Moon Shadow devotees will have to make do elsewhere. The Thai Cafe is raved about by lots of Greenpointers, and held by many as the gold standard in the throng. But there are those among us who do not get why the Thai Cafe is considered super special by anybody. To us, TC seems like any ordinary Thai restaurant. For the people of whom I am speaking, Moon Shadow was the really good one, the only one good enough to set it apart from all the others.
