Vicky's Vietnamese Sandwiches took over the Nicky's Vietnamese Sandwiches space on East Second Street just off Avenue A two years ago… and, as several readers have noted, Vicky's closed at the end of November. For rent signs are up, as you can see in the above photo. (By the way, you can still find a Nicky's in Manhattan down on Nassau Street.)
As EVG regular Salim lamented to us in an email, this is yet "another low-key, affordable shop going away" … joining the recently shuttered Cafe Rakka on Avenue B...
Fortunately, the renovated Rakka Cafe from the same owners has reopened on St. Mark's Place.

Wow.. That was my very first Banh Mi sandwich many years ago before Vietnamese was "in". Farewell.
Great sandwiches at Nicky's and Vicky's. And while they raised prices over the years ($3.95 when Nicky's first opened, I think $6.50 when Vicky's closed), it still had a good deliciousness-to-cost ratio.
Bye guys! You shall be missed.
I will greatly miss both places.
How do you say
