Storied 86th Street Nathan’s to close this weekend, marking end of era in Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights
Franks for the memories.
After more than four decades on 86th Street, the storied Nathan’s Famous franchise on the Bay Ridge/Dyker Heights border will serve its last meals this Sunday.
The nearly 20,000-square-foot property at 650 86th St. has been home to Nathan’s since the late ’70s, before which it was a fast food burger chain named Wetson’s and prior to that, Mitchell’s Drive-In. The property also includes an Arthur Treacher’s, which specializes in fast food fish and chips, and which will close this weekend, too.
