Stop in for a cup of coffee

All NJ roads outside of south Jersey require constant attention. With rare exception there's nothing straight, they follow the contours of the land and waterways, and like much of the East, sometimes trace back to Indian trail and deer paths.

This is Johnny's, a hundred yards or so further west along the road. When they are open (Spring, Summer, Fall) the parking lot is often full, 2 to 3 rows of cars. Not into into hotdogs myself, but one day I'll have to stop and have one, or maybe an after dinner icecream. Great location along the Pequest River. I'm guessing this place started in the '50's.

I bet the road used to be a lot closer to the building. On Rt 202 headed out to West Chester there is a sandwich place (Jimmy Johns, privately owned not the chain) that dates back to the 1940s. They have a front parking lot now but back in the 40s, the shop was only 10’ from the road. They have the vintage photographs inside the place showing how the road changed over the years. The building never moved...but the road did.
