  • Nedick's was an American chain of fast-food restaurants that originated in New York City in 1913. The name of the chain was formed from the last names of Robert T. Neely and Orville A. Dickinson, who founded the chain with the original stand in a hotel storefront of the Bartholdi Hotel at 23rd Street and Broadway in Manhattan. During the 1950s the chain expanded to the Newark, New Jersey, Albany, New York, Boston, Massachusetts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. areas. Originally known for making and selling a signature orange drink, Nedick's expanded its menu through the years. Coffee, donuts and hot dogs, with a unique mustard relish in a toasted bun, were added to the Nedick's menu. The chain became known for the orange with white decor of its locations as well as the slogans "Good food is never expensive at Nedick's" and "Always a pleasure". Following intense competition in the 1970s from national chains including McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts, and criticism in 1981 for the quality of its concession at the Central Park Zoo, Nedick's ceased operations. An attempt was made in 2003 to revive the chain by new owners who had purchased the rights to use the Nedick's name. Three locations were opened in New York City during 2003 but were closed after operating for a number of years. An article in The New York Times once referred to the Nedick's chain as "The Starbucks of New York". (en)
