Rumor is a Mexican concept will be opening in that spot.
UGH like this area needs more Mexican food.
It could be worse: it could be an Italian concept. (And what the heck is “a Mexican concept”? It’s either a Mexican restaurant, or a faux Mexican restaurant, or something else entirely. “Concepts” don’t serve food.)

Just drove past the old Thai Thai, which now has signage for “Thai Street”. Does that mean it will serve street food, or is it just a catchy name?
The newish Mezcal in Old Bridge fits what I suspect @BossaNova meant by “Mexican concept” (not that I’m speaking for them). From Mezcal’s website: “Discover Mezcal, where authentic Mexican flavors meet steakhouse excellence.” Its most definitely not a Mexican restaurant, but it incorporates aspects of Mexican food and cooking in at least some respect.

Maybe not news, but Hazlet Farmers market is every Saturday through the summer. Saw a baker doing some fun stuff, naturally leavened sourdough and wanted to give him a try. Glad I did, his pizza bianca is exceptional. Italian doughnuts, bombolone, are equally remarkable and his cornetti look real nice. Saving those for tomorrow. Anyway if anyone is interested here’s the info.

Mezcal is the newest addition to the 618 in Freehand group. So whatever your feelings about 618 should translate to Mezcal, obviously with a Mexican accent.

Google is no help: what is the 618 in Freehand group?
There’s a thread here about 618: Restaurant 618 Freehold NJ - #7 by corvette_johnny
Though this one is in Freehold rather than the more artistic Freehand

On behalf of both the Borough and Township of Freehold, I accept your apology. (I will also refrain from telling folks that your excellent restaurant is in Liver Sliver.)
