Nedick's
Nedick's was an American chain of fast-food restaurants that originated in New York City in 1913〔"Title to Nedick's Will Pass Today: Orange-Drink Chain That Took In $10,000,000 in 7 Good Years to Be Continued", ''The New York Times'', April 13, 1934, p.16〕 or the early 1920s,〔 per differing sources, and expanded in the 1950s to Newark, New Jersey; Albany, New York; Boston, Massachusetts; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Baltimore, Maryland; and Washington, D.C.〔Jackson, Kenneth T., editor. ''The Encyclopedia of New York City'' (Yale University Press: New Haven & London, 1995): "Nedick's" (entry), by Robert Sanger Steel, p. 803〕 Originally known for making and selling a signature orange drink, it added coffee and donuts to its simple menu, and later hot dogs with a unique mustard relish in a toasted bun.〔 The name was formed from the last names of Robert T. Neely and Orville A. Dickinson,〔("The Talk of the Town: The Man Behind Nedicks" ), ''The New Yorker'', February 25, 1928, p. 11〕 who founded the chain with the original stand in a hotel storefront of the Bartholdi Hotel at 23rd Street and Broadway.〔〔''The Encyclopedia of New York City'' gives the location of the first stand as 27th Street and Broadway. The Bartholdi Hotel, built in 1885 and later demolished, occupied the southeast corner of 23rd Street and Broadway, according to (New York's Early Skyscrapers: "1880s: Bartholdi Hotel" )〕 The chain was known for its orange and white decor and its slogan, "Good food is never expensive at Nedick's".〔 Another slogan, evidenced by the image at right, was "Always a pleasure".
Following intense competition in the 1970s from such national chains as McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts, and much criticism in 1981 for the quality of its concession at the Central Park Zoo, Nedick's ceased operations.〔
==Revival of brand name==
In 2003, the Riese Organization, which operates a number of restaurant chains such as Dunkin' Donuts and Pizza Hut, revived the Nedick's brand, with three restaurants by that name in New York City, at Penn Station; 1286 Broadway between 33rd & 34th Street; and 416 8th Avenue, at West 31st Street.〔(Reise Restaurants: Nedick's ) (official site)〕〔(Hinckley, David. "It's Good Again Like Nedick's" ), ''Daily News'', January 14, 2003〕 All of these locations have since closed, and Nedick's is no longer featured on Riese Restaurants webpage.
