Do you ever get the question asked "Whats your death row dinner? If you could order any dinner in the world and have it delivered hot to your jail cell? In my town Portland Or we have so many incredible Restaurants to select from. Portland has become the little San Francisco of dining so would it be a difficult choice? NO. It would take me 2 seconds to respond (maybe quicker). Nicks Famous Coney Island on S.E Hawthorne Blvd. Pictured to the left is Frank Nudo who owns Nicks and is a major sports fan (especially Baseball).......
The walls are covered in photos of sports celebs and team shots...also a special wall dedicated to Neil Diamond. The restaurant looks pretty much the same as it did in the 1940's except for the color TV off to the side of the bar that features ONE beer....Bud. The Conney's are a work of art using Frank's secret sauce and the Mac-Salad on the side. No bills are generated here when you are ready to pay, they just round out the number by looking at your plates and offer a number. Nobody ever challenges them on that number. It would be devastating to not be allowed back in. The ranting & raving of Frank is almost worth just dropping in especially if a guest starts knocking one of his favorite sports teams or god forbid politics. This is a special haunt that could never be duplicated or replaced. I love Nicks Coney Island.

Sounds like a cool place!
You're right, I recently ate at Nick's and those coneys can't be beat. I'd write more, but it's uncomfortable trying to type when you've been on the shitter for the last three hours.
