Step back to the Asbury Park boardwalk of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Before the modern era of the North End, there was Ducky’s Hot Dogs—a 30-year staple that was far more than just a food stand. Owned and operated by Donald N. “Ducky” Fornicola, this legendary spot was the unofficial headquarters for locals and summer tourists alike.
Ducky Fornicola, a Neptune native and Asbury Park High School alum, was the heart of the operation. From roughly 1960 through the late 1980s, Ducky didn't just sell hot dogs; he mentored the local youth he hired and greeted every customer with a contagious smile. Whether you were a regular at the counter or stopping by after a basketball game (where Ducky was a local legend as a coach and director), his shop was a "respite from unrest" and a symbol of community.
