"Opened in early 2023 as a pandemic-era Union Square success story, Hed Very Thai is run by Naruephon “Billie” Wannajaro and was notably very busy—so much so that the hotel landlord saw the packed restaurant and gained confidence in her ability to launch Hed 11. Wannajaro’s track record also includes three restaurants in Thailand, one of which is an American-style brunch spot, and her broker for the Hed Very Thai location helped set up the new hotel deal." - Paolo Bicchieri
