Nicky's is now Vicky's on East Second Street

The other night EV Grieve reader Steven passed along word that Nicky's on Second Street just east of Avenue A was now called Vicky's ...

Sure enough... rather subtle switch from the N to V...



Simple name switcheroo?

More than that, actually. Nicky's co-owner Quynh Dang told us that they sold the Second Street location in the late summer ... and the new owner called it Vicky's! (Which gave Quynh a chuckle.)

So, if you want your Nicky's fix, you have two choices now:

99-C Nassau St.
New York, NY 10038
Phone: 212-766-3388
Online ordering via Seamless Web available for this location

311 Atlantic Ave.
Brooklyn, NY 11201
Phone: 718-855-8838

I dare someone were to climb up there and change it to 'Ricky's' .... 'Micky's'?

Can a business owner get any lazier?

I think its more about dishing out a thousand bucks for a new awning vs. $5 for some paint...I really don't know how much an awning costs but I can't imagine including installation its cheap.

Nicky's Pho on 4th failed & now they close the 2nd street shop? I guess they just gave up on the East Village!

@East Village Eats: maybe the East Village gave up on Nicky's

@Stedman: replacing an awning ain't cheap

it's like the "Ear Inn" who simply taped up the "Bar" neon sign

It should be noted that Nicky's on 2nd Street in the East Village is back open with the original owner, Billy at the helm. He's brought back the original quality and service to all East Villagers. I've been back several times and have not been disappointed! :)
