Michele Lorie Cheese Cakes, 549 Hamilton Avenue, The Burg.
Chambers & Hamilton traffic light can be seen.
Chucks Cafe on the corner was called something else when
I went to Trenton High 1977-1980 but I don't remember it:)

The Casino? Hot Dogs with Peppers and Onions and fried potatoes?
Hi Vanessa:)
I loved Casino:)
15 Anderson 1 block away but
you were close:)
Unless Casino was here at
one time.
According to the records I am
observing in the 50&60s it was
The Hamilton Sweet Shop.
Oh Heck let me go thru what I
have for that block of Hamilton
Avenue (businesses named only)
in the 50s60s:)
551 Hamilton Sweet Shop
549 Mac Millinary
547 LaCasa Liquor Store
545 Joe Umberto Delicatessen
543 Princeton Stamp Company
541 Nana Selby Specialty Shop
539 Kropacs Bakery
537 LouisBahr Tailor
532-36 Trenton Baking Company
Perhaps it was still called
the Hamilton Sweet Shop in
the 70s but I don't remember:))
Mike:))
Hamilton Sweet shop was on the corner of Hamilton and Chambers. Michele Lorie was either next door or two doors down.
SC
Michelle Lorie's closed earlier this year (2008).
It was the Hamilton Sweet Shop when I was in Trenton High 1964-66 and nobody could make a faster sandwich.
Everybody called the Casino "Tony Goes." The hot dog with green peppers and thick cut potatoes on a proper Barbero's hard roll could he had for a quarter back in 1960.
I have never seen this concoction repeated anywhere. Must be unique to the Burg.
There was an obligatory portrait of Mr Sintra on the wall. Hope it's still there. Il padrone.
Long before this was Michele Lorie, it was a record store. I think I bought my first 45 here.
I went in there looking for Daydream Believer by The Monkees, they were out of it. My second choice was Keep The Ball Rollin' by Jay and The Techniques (from Allentown, PA by the way)the guy at the store told me it was a better song anyway. I still have it and still agree with him!
ML had the most awesome cheese cakes in the world...amaretto was my favorite...now just a memory :(

To this poster and to Vanessa, it's called an Italian hot dog and it's unique to Jersey. Still popular in North Jersey as it was most likely invented in Newark. You can still get one of these or any other variation like an Italian steak, which is a cheesesteak with the aforementioned fixins. Doesn't get more Jersey than that.
