Hot Dog Johnny's • 1944

Along Route 46 in Buttzville, deep-fried hot dogs split and snap with each bite while patrons wash them down with ice-cold buttermilk or birch beer at this 1944 roadside stand. John Kovalsky's daughter Patricia still runs the cash-only window, just as she did at age eight standing on crates, and picnic tables overlook the Pequest River where families return generation after generation.
