A food icon of Northeast Philadelphia has gone out with a party as Nick's Roast Beef closed its Cotman Avenue location Sunday.
Nick's spot along Cottman Avenue closed it's doors for good Sunday night.
"I feel like a lot of times you go out of business and you just put a sign on the door and it doesn't give closure," owner Matthew Rossi told NBC10."This place has been here way too long to not allow for that." The owner of the eatery threw a goodbye party to mark the restaurant's nearly 54-year run. People danced, drank and enjoyed a free buffet of roast beef, of course."It became like a celebration of life instead of just losing it," Rossi said as music played inside the restaurant.Rossi said he was closing the location due to a proposed rent increase after the building was recently sold. He said the new lease offer was too much to keep up with for the Cottman Avenue eatery.
