Newark, NJ is the birthplace of the Italian Hot Dog, and back in the 1950s, there were hot dog joints all over the North Ward. Now there is only one. Dickie Dee's. For 50 years two couples have worked to make the place a New Jersey legend.
There is Dominoes pizzeria up some blocks, and a pizza hut about 3 miles from there, but i will never trade one slice of dickie Dee's for a pie from one the other ones. The fist time i tasted their pizza was in the mid 80's and i still go back :-)
I support businesses in Newark like Dickie Dee's that have stayed through the good times and the bad times. But I just don't eat like that anymore, it's unhealthy!
Update, Sue's Luncheonette was next to Krug's Tavern, so it was 114-116 Wilson Ave.

Sue's Luncheonette was on Wilson a few doors down from Bill's Flying A ( later Getty )
gas station. From sattelite maps I'd estimate it to be between Napoleon St. and Ann St.
since the gas station is also gone but I see a lot where cars are parked on the corner.
Sue served fantastic Italian Hot Dogs till at least the mid 60's.

The original "Italian Style" hot dog started by Jimmy Buff on 9th st and 14th ave in Newark, NJ back in the 1932.

Jimmy Buff's in Kenilworth (on the Boulevard) is good too.
