Newark Stories: Hobby's Deli

John O'Boyle

In honor of this city's 350th Anniversary, we’re bringing you Newark’s stories — voices from unheard Newarkers… from the Ironbound to Weequahic to University Heights. Our first is from a landmark restaurant, downtown.

Sam Brummer established Hobby’s Deli on the corner of Halsey and Branford Place in 1962, and it has since become a Newark institution. Marc and Mike Brummer watched their dad run the restaurant as kids, and partnered with their father over thirty years ago to run it. They recently sat down to talk about their dad, who passed away last year, and to talk about the legacy of Hobby’s.
