The End of NYC Food Guy’s Favorite Late Night Fries: Murray Hill Grease Pit “Ziggiz” Now Closes at 10PM
June 5, 2009
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.

Food Guy, I think he is referring to the falling down drunks late at night in that area…..

Oh no! I used to order steak burritos late night (so good too) and would get fries with them. It’s a sad day.

FN,
You are probably right. Not that I ever fell into that category when I went to Ziggiz….
Anonymous,
It truly is a sad day when the city that never sleeps loses a late night spot.
Ulla,
You said it, sister.
TheKCB,
Ha, that’s pretty gross, I think. There’s nothing to eat but grease. We used to get chicken fingers with fries, quesadilla with fries, or chicken sandwiches with fries, the last of which was actually a healthier option except for the Russian dressing all over it.
nono,
Ha, look at you with the positive spin. It must be a result of the yoga!?

[…] This post was originally written in 2007 and since then Ziggiz has changed their close time to 10PM seven days a week, thereby ending their status as a great late night grease pit. Prior to this, almost every meal I […]
