Other Locations
From 1979 to 2007, there were two Nick Tahou Hots restaurants in Rochester: one located in downtown Rochester and the other satellite restaurant located on Lyell Avenue in Gates. In 2007, Steve Tahou and his sister Joanne Tahou-Demkou, the children of Ike Tahou (Nick's brother), assumed full ownership of the Lyell Ave. location and renamed it "Steve T. Hots and Potatoes". Steve has returned to using Rochester-based Zweigle's hot dogs and Italian sausages, which were used in the original garbage plates at Nick's. The original West Main Street location continue to use the trademarked "Nick Tahou" and "Garbage Plate" names, and continue to use the Nick Tahou Hot Dog branded dogs in their plates. While previously open all night, the downtown restaurant began closing at 8 p.m. in 1998 due to a spate of disturbances. Steve T.'s remains open 24 hours a day. Peak times of business occur during the weekends shortly after 2am, when local bars close.
There was also a short-lived Nick Tahou's operation in Oswego, New York, but not much is known about the location or its history.
On August 3rd, 2010, a second location opened at 3070 West Henrietta Road, in the town of Henrietta, New York.
