It was a time when, children in the neighborhood of the "Burg", played hide-n-seek, tag, kick the can, red light, giant steps, buck,buck, how many horns are up? And roller skating up and down the street.

      It was a time when, for a nickel you could get the best decorated hotdog in town. This is where the history begins.

      The year was 1932 when the patriarch of the family, Canio "Tony" Sbarro, started making the Italian Hotdogs. Canio purchased a garage on Charles St., and turned it into a store front. He had the bakery form a 12 inch roll (now known as the torpedo roll), in which he enclosed the hotdog; smothered with home-fried potatoes, and freshly sliced sauteed green peppers, plus mustard.

      This was the "Original Tony Goes Hotdog", later and still known today as the "Casino Hotdog". Canio, eventually outgrew the makeshift store front out of that old garage, and moved around the corner on Anderson St. He purchased a building and with the help of his wife Theresa, and their children; Albert, Michael, Ernie, Jimmy, and Mary; created a full service restaurant he called "Casino Restaurant", where it still stands today.

      He was always running to suppliers for fresh produce and meats. He preferred to get the supplies himself, first-hand, rather than have it delivered. Eventually, someone deemed it fitting to add "Goes" to his nickname "Tony", and the place beacme known as Tony Goes.
