I used to work there in the late 1050 inorder to get money for the senior prom. I cooked bergers and cleaned. I remember working on the 4th of July and cooked bergers all day long. It must have been 10,000 :-). Uniform was white shirt and pants along with white shoes.

We could eat all we wanted (great perk).

I live in So. California now - but head right for a White Castle when I go home to the Bronx. I lived on Zerega Ave, so this was the White Castle we went to in the 50's, 60's & 70's

Liz,

I was in the Bronx a few weeks back and stopped in the White Castle on Soundview and Bruckner......man, what a disappointment, in a way. First, they were 59 cents each, second, you could order combo meals.....how dare them, combo meals in White Castle????.....so I ordered 6 Whities, an order of fries and a medium coke, and sit down to enjoy a slice of heaven, and what do I discover....half of the burgers have no pickle or ketchup....thinking that NONE of them did, I went to the couter and requesuted some pickles and ketchup....the lady behind the counter must have thought I was nuts, she gave me a look.....anyway, it turns out that the other half of the burgers DID have ketchup and pickles, so I had a DOUBLE order of pickles.....the burgers were cold, the cheese hadly melted.....BUT, they WERE White Castle Hamburgers, and for a few minutes, I was in heaven.......two of them were warm enought that I could taste the warm onions, and the roll was SO soft.,...just like I remember them, when they were twelve cents in the early 60's....so ther is my White Castle story...sorry for those who already heard me grumble about those cold burgers already.....DA BRONX!!!

Most of the time the burgers there are great. When our kids were little we spent summers in CA. The frozzen food man said WC was his biggest seller. The frozeen ones stink.

i had wc's a few months back on fordham rd..they are no way nearly as good as they were when i was a kid...all in all, they were a DISAPOINTMENT...but i still ENJOYED THEM....lol

grew up with the WC at the corner of Allerton ave and Boston Road....4 cents as I recall, used to love the coupons in the penny saver something like 10 for 35 cents!!!

I live in FL now and my ex boss had grown up in the same area 20 years before, had me go to that WC and bring back burgers which went to a shoebox in my carry bag, she ate them the next day back at work, she said they were great....gotta love WC

I meant to say I brought them back to FL on a visit back to my old neighborhood.....

I don't think anything tastes or looks as good as we remember it... and I guess thank goodness for that. I still look forward to a WC stop when I am in NY and I buy the frozen ones at home sometimes - they're pretty good to me. I have also carried them home on a plane several times - back when you could do that!

WC never went nationwide. They stayed in the cities. They never had a great system. It was one person doing all the work and five looking on. THey started 30 years before McDonalds but could not match them; but I love my WC

I remember going to my aunts house in SOUNDVIEW. After visiting we'd go to Castle Hill and buy them by the sack. I buy frozen now but they not like the old times. I loved thoses kinishes anyone else. oneme

I never remember them having Kinishes at WC. The stores dont have the long lines like in days gone by. There service is still a little slow but better then the old days.

Let me clarify the kinishes were served at the hot dog stands. Anyway I remember when my father first made me a bagel, cream cheese, and lochs is lochs spelled correctly. Anyway I thought it was scrumptious.

Does anyone know if the White Castle on Fordham Rd. near P.S. 45 is still there?

They used the clip on trays at the Fordham site also.

Allerton Ave between Barker and White Plains, you could fill up for 30 cents. Your choices were the Kosher Deli,.15. hot dogs, .15 knishes; Pizza Shop, .15 slice and the Luncheonette on corner of Allerton and Barker, enormous juicy hamburger, fries and coke, 1.25. If you had the taste, you dunked your hands in that big barrel of pickles.
