Red Hook’s Pok Pok Serves Hot $16 Pork Neck: Ryan Sutton
Pok Pok NY, in Red Hook, Brooklyn, is a family-friendly Thai restaurant with good food and lousy service.
The place -- the name means mortar and pestle -- is small and geared toward locals, yet Manhattanites drop $35 on a cab ride for $10 eggplant. It’s excellent eggplant.
