I don't know about zsh but here's a sh/bash function:

    mycd() {
            local dir=$1
            while ! cd -- "$dir"; do
                    dir=$(dirname -- "$dir")
            done
    }


This is exactly what I wanted. Thanks. It works in zsh too.

The find command probably can handle this maybe in a shorter form.  I 
don't know as much syntax of that command as I'd like otherwise this could 
probably written in a single line of code.
