State Street Stalwarts: Nick's Restaurant closing on May 11 after 65 years in business

An Isthmus article from 2009, when Nick's was celebrating its 50th anniversary, notes that the restaurant has drawn famous musicians, actors and writers including Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Roger Ebert, Bret Easton Ellis, Lenny Kravitz, Tom Wopat and Robin Williams. 
"It's almost like the staff lunchroom for us," Tom Carto, then-president and CEO of the Overture Center, said in the Isthmus story. "Nick's is one of the most popular stops for our audiences before and after any show here at Overture. On symphony nights the place is packed. I'm there for the fish fry every Friday."
It's been a different story since Covid.
