The Best Restaurants in Newark, New Jersey | Eater NY

"Opened in 1958 in Newark’s North Ward, an historic Italian enclave, and now in its third generation of family ownership, Dickie Dee’s is a solid spot for Italian subs and pizza — but it’s best known for its Newark-style “Italian hot dog.” In a state with a strong hot dog culture, this is one worth seeking out. Picture a pocketed bread slathered with mustard and ketchup and crammed with a hot dog (or dogs) from another longtime Newark family business, Best’s Provisions, and sauteed onions and peppers, then topped with a mound of fried potatoes. That’s good eating." - Hank Zona
