salesman they say are only as good as thier last sale, so to me restaurants are only as good as thier last meal, so 66 gets downgraded to 3*, still loved but not on the level as WD or Kai anymore......rumor is I have been downgraded also.....tonight I had 3 meals between 6:00 and 11:00, the first was tasty Thai (1* stuff) and I got BYOB ok, biggest table is 10 (heres someone else's review... 56 PAM REAL THAI FOOD No one is quite sure why there are so many Siamese restaurants in Hell's Kitchen, but most agree that the majority have toned down Thai food for the American palate, throwing the bottle of fish sauce away. Not so at Pam's, where sharp sour, salty, and fishy flavors are promulgated. Noodle dishes and yum are particularly recommended, as is duck with chile sauce. 404 West 49th Street, Manhattan 333-7500)..second was 66, and some dishes were great again but it lost something....WD50 for 3 great app's (the soup is on the menu tonight w/ watercress) ended the night...
