Glizzy's bringing hot dogs to this block of St. Mark's Place

Signage for Glizzy's is up now at 34 St. Mark's Place between Second Avenue and Third Avenue.

This will be the second outpost for the brand that got its start last year in Williamsburg, and boasting "Brooklyn's Best Hot Dogs." (Current signage is missing the 's on Brooklyn for now.)

Johnny Huynh, the founder and co-owner of Glizzy's grew up in Bushwick and operates Lucy's Vietnamese restaurants in Brooklyn.

Some background via Greenpointers:
Glizzy's menu kicks off with the "N.Y. Classic" that includes onions in red sauce, sauerkraut, and spicy brown mustard. Next, there's a dog called "Houston, We Have A Problem" with smoked brisket chili, chopped and fried onions, and a cheddar cheese sauce. 

The "OG Lucy's" is a nod to Huynh's Vietnamese restaurant and has cucumber, cilantro, basil, mayo, pickled carrots, hoisin, and sriracha. Next up is the "Mr. Lee" with kimchi, scallions, furikake, fried garlic, Korean BBQ sauce, and sesame oil. 

"The Ocky" is halal and includes chopped onions, tomatoes, harissa, and yogurt sauce, while the "Phil Me Up" contains potato salad, scallions, furikake, and curry ranch dressing. 

No word on an opening date for Glizzy's, which is nestled among other quick-serve options on the block. The storefront was previously the ice cream shop Lucky Star.

    Brooklyn’s best hot dog is a pretty bold claim. Is DMV lingo popular up here? Does anyone in NY state call hotdogs glizzys?

      Yes. Glizzy is the popular slang term these days.

    Late night junk food for sports bar-hoppers. This is nothing a neighborhood needs.

      Who said hot dogs are for late night or for sport bars? This is the wrong generalization.

    In 1971, that was a record shop called The Gramophone!

      can’t remember the exact years, but in the mid-late 70’s there was a record shop at 29 Saint Marks Place called Flashback Records.

    Lucky Star was the weirdest operation. Almost never open, even in peak nights. What's up, Trigger?

    Could use the smash burger spots to add a hot dog or Italian sausage to the menu, maybe they will now

    Referring to a hotdog as slang for a gun seems bizarre and Freudian. I would love to see how these people consume their ‘glizzys’. Sounds to try hard and sexual to be cool.
