Brooklyn Piggies has closed

Smorgasburg vendors Brooklyn Piggies, which sells hand-rolled pigs in a blanket, have apparently closed its first brick-and-mortar storefront at 195 Avenue A near East 12th Street.

For rent signs are up … there's no mention of the closure on the various Piggy social media properties.

You may still order piggy platters online.

Brooklyn Piggies opened in January. Guess we now know the answer to this question that we posed then:

Biscuits on one side of Avenue A ... and pigs in a blanket on the other. Who will win this single-food late-night throwdown?

On Avenue A, Piggies in, Spin Hair Salon out

[From Sunday, in case you were wondering about the lack of snow]

As you probably know, Brooklyn Piggies, the hand-rolled pigs-in-a-blanket shop, opened last Thursday at 195 Avenue A. At the same time, though, Spin Hair Salon has left the space next door…




No word just yet if stylist Eddie J. Williams has moved to a new location or closed. (There aren't any signs up indicating either scenario.) He moved here from Stanton Street last January.

Previously, both storefronts housed Furry Land Pet Supply, which closed in January 2012…

Brooklyn Piggies now open on Avenue A

Smorgasburg vendors Brooklyn Piggies, which only peddles hand-rolled pigs in a blanket, opened its first permanent (brick-and-mortar?) storefront yesterday ... at 195 Avenue A near East 12th Street. (Someone at Oprah likes them.)

Their hours:

Tue - Wed: 11 am to 11 pm
Thu - Sat: 11 am to 4 am (They have a late-night to-go window)
Sun: 11 am to 9 pm

Per the Times:

The company makes about 10,000 pigs a week to sell online and frozen, and for Madison Square Garden’s skyboxes. They are available in original, spicy or chicken. Coming soon: a vegetarian style and potato puffs: about $20 for a box of 14.
