River Edge's Original Route 4 Roadside Food Eatery

A Journey into River Edge
Before there was Total wine, before there was Liberty Travel, even before there was Huffman & Boyle, Route 4 in our neighborhood was known for Nystrom's,
Nystrom's was a roadside eatery that last into the early 1950's (Route 4 iopened in the 1930's).
The place featured sandwichwes, home style ccokuing and epsprecally ioce cream.
And in a time when such a convenience was still novel, Nystrom's offered air conditioning to weary and sweaty travelers.
I found on a Hackensack message board this menu from Nystrom's dating back to 1939.
Old Timers (few left) still speak reverentially about Nystrom's as a landmark along the highway when they first moved to the area.
Otherwise, other than these few words it is mostly unknown or forgotten.
