Nick’s Roast Beef On Walnut
Posted by Foobooz on February 20th, 2009
Long before Nick’s Roast Beef had the great idea of putting bits of beef and gravy on their French fries they had a bit of an empire. Only three remain, two under original ownership in South Philadelphia and Delaware County and the third, which started as a franchise is in Old City.
This 1969 photograph shows a subterranean Nick’s on the 700 block of Walnut Street.
