Tuck Shop closes St. Mark's Place location



The Tuck Shop closed its location for good on St. Mark's Place near Avenue A last night. The locations on East First Street and in the Chelsea Market remain open.

According to the sign on the door, "we decided to close this location for myriad reasons" ... which include:

Surf's Up!
Real-Estate Taxes (my personal fav)
Gentrification
The booze
Sandy (of course)
Rent is too damn high!
Laziness/ennui
Albany/Bloomberg
Gluten-free people

The Australian restaurant opened this location in the summer of 2009.

From April...

    Well, with such a disgusting carnivorous menu, I'm happy to see them gone.

    It is delicious though. I've been going to the 1st street one since they opened nearly 10 years ago.

    Had my last pie there last night.

    Going to miss the spot.

    Was always good for an early afternoon bite on Saturdays.

    That sucks. The pies are pretty good, the kale salad is great, and the staff all rock. You will be missed.
