56 Beloved American Restaurants That Have Closed Their Doors

Robert T. Neely and Orville A. Dickinson founded Nedick’s, a fast-food chain that originated in 1913 in New York City. The name came from a combination of the founder’s last names. The two founded Nedick’s with the original stand in the Bartholdi Hotel in Manhattan.

The chain did well, and Nedick’s expanded to New Jersey, upstate New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., and Maryland. Nedick’s was famous for its orange soda, which it sold in grocery stores and at the lunch counters.
