[VIDEO] The Spice Club's Opening Ceremony Was Rich in Tradition and a Grand Feast Too.

Niantic's newest eatery, The Spice Club, opened today with a blessing by Buddhist monks and a large helping of authentic Thai cuisine

It's not often you see a traditional Buddhist ceremony in downtown Niantic but for the opening of at 239 Main Street, three Thai monks came down from a temple in Boston to perform a blessing that was as authentic as the Thai cuisine that the restaurant offers. 

"It's a tradition in my country. We feed the monks, we feed all the guests, we never let you be hungry," said Spice Club owner "Tai" Au.

The Spice Club is now officially open for business, Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from noon to 10 p.m. Reservations are not required but are recommended. Call (860) 451-8121.

I wondered that myself when I looked at it, then noticed that lots of our local farmers marketsRead More aren't on the map. When I dug a little deeper, I noticed that all the markets the state lists are "self-reported" in other words, markets have to let the state know and then they're added.

As a parent of 2 children that attend NCS, I do not think the elementary school is the best place toRead More relocate Coastal Connection to. I feel that beyond my concerns, my children may feel threatened or uncomfortable in a school with kids that are so much older than they are. It just doesn't seem like this would be the best decision for any of the children that would be affected by this change.
