AI-generated summary
It's closed now and people still miss it. Big Nick's was the UWS late night spot, open past midnight with a huge, strange menu. The slices were big and solid, and the burgers came in odd versions like bison. Most people remember it as drunk food and somewhere to sit at 3am.
“Big Nick's on 71st, between midnight and 4am, was the vibe to end all vibes. Solid slices, odd burger options, servers who loved you to death but would also talk shit, weird staircase to a cramped bathroom that would spray you in the face with air freshener, crowd from all walks of up-too-late life from stoners to service workers to tourists to bands that just played a show.”
