Update: Tuck Shop 2nd Location Opening pushed to Friday

June 24, 2009

Tuck Shop’s 2nd location at 115 St. Mark’s Place between 1st Avenue and Avenue A, pushed back their soft open day to this Friday (June 26) in an effort to ensure they’re ready to rock. And rock they will, they’re original location (68 East 1st street b/t 1st and 2nd Avenues) is a great blueprint for success: fresh baked meat pies and homemade Australian desserts from breakfast until the wee hours of the night (5AM Friday and Saturday, 2AM Sun. – Thurs.). My three favorites are the beef pie with a side of ketchup, the Thai chook (chicken) curry with a side of sweet chili sauce and the Vanilla Slice, vanilla custard between two sheets of pastry puff all topped with vanilla icing. The new location, just a few doors down from Crif Dogs, will deliver all the classics plus a few new additions. Click here for a look at the new shop’s interior and a list of new items.
