I just went to the web site and there is only one Arthur Treacher left and it is in Paramus at the Garden State Plaza. I know there is a Nathans in Rockaway Mall but I asked family and there is no Artur Treacher.

a lot of these are bayonne/hudson country centric:

petridis' hotdogs with a yoo hoo
great eastern
TWO GUYS - go on a Sunday and see all the clothes and shoes roped off b/c of blue laws
paradise east in JC
shopping on broadway
trader horn
asbury park and especially the palace
and the best.....

action park!

I've seen Arthur Treachers around in a few places. There's one in Manhattan and I've seen them as far away as Virginia.

I think wileynj could be right about Nathan's/AT co-branding. I feel like the Nathan's at Willowbrook Mall has an AT logo up too but I can't confirm. I've definitely seen them together at a mall somewhere in Northern NJ.

Anyone remember the A&W's on Long Beach Island???
That island was the greatest place EVER!!
There was a trampoline place down there, next to a mini golf, I forget what it was called. There were like 20 trampolines, recessed into the ground, and you paid like $2.50 for a half hour of jumping or somthin like that. I think it was closer to Loveladies.
And what about that giant slide that you got into a burlap bag and it seeemedd soooo high upppp! I was like 5, and my stomach would drop when I came down the slide.
And Bay Village had a store called "The Dollar Parlor" and you got like REALLY good stuff for $1 there!

But in Bergen county, anyone remember Digby's in TeanecK???



Heart of My Heart, Good old Alexander's

Jenny, Are you sure you are not my wife posting in the other room. We saw the same concerts and did the same things on LBI.
