After 53 years, Nick’s Roast Beef on Cottman is closing permanently in Northeast Philadelphia.

Most people know it as the ideal spot for a roast beef sandwich, but for Peter Kurtz, it’s a second home.

"I could’ve gone to other places, I live right down the street, but this is, I keep calling it my bar," says Kurtz. "When they close tonight, I’m going to go home and cry." Rossi says the building was sold in January to a new owner who had to raise prices. He feels it’s just a sign of the times.

It’s a shame but with all the shootings and robberies it’s just not safe in that area. Take your life in your hands for a roast beef sangwich or stay home and be safe. I choose safe.
