Tuck Shop, the East Village’s home for authentic Australian street food (meat pies, sausage rolls) and desserts (Tim Tams, vanilla slice, lamingtons), will soft open a new 2nd location this Wednesday (June 24) at 115 St. Mark’s Place, just a few doors down from Crif Dogs.
Late night eaters are in for a treat, the new location, like Tuck Shop’s original location at 68 East 1st Street b/t 1st and 2nd Avenues, will be open until 5AM Friday and Saturday (an hour later than Crif Dogs) and 2AM Sunday through Thursday. Early birds can look forward to new breakfast and coffee options and lovers of the legendary Australian cookie Tim Tams have even more reason to be excited! Read on to find out why, plus learn about what else we can expect from one of NYC Food Guy’s favorite spots…

Late-night pickings just got a little slimmer in Murray Hill, as the unheralded grease pit Ziggiz, home to NYC Food Guy’s favorite late-night fries, has started closing at 10PM. One source claims the Ziggiz owner reportedly complained about “too many problems” with the late-night operation. If by “problems” he means that the typically addictive, double-fried, skin-on fries have gone downhill (as noted by Paul May 16th on NYC Food Guy’s Recommended French Fry post), then maybe closing early is for the best; the heaping order of fries was the only reason to go to Ziggiz.

In the spirit of recession-era dining, NYC Food Guy is here to help you spend your money wisely with one of the first disappointing reviews since Despana’s Chorizo & Churros back in October. The cheeseburger at SoHo’s Five Points Restaurant looks and sounds magnificent in all of its seventeen-dollar-and-fifty-cents-of-sauteed-red-onion, smokey-bacon-and-white-cheddar-topped glory. And while each of the ingredients–including the toasted bun and the fatty, juicy, cooked-to-order burger–are delicious on their own, their flavors fail to create harmony, resulting in a fancy burger that’s just not worth its price. Read on to find out which part of the burger you can do without and if there were any redeeming qualities at this entire meal…

I’ve already done a comprehensive round up of cheap late night eats all over Manhattan but now it’s time to focus on the East Village, arguably Manhattan’s finest neighborhood for eating after midnight.

We’ll find a great place to take a mid-night break from the booze and we’ll also discover why heading to Murray Hill at 4AM without a booty call, is actually a smart move.
