The menu is simple: hot dogs, soft drinks, potato chips, ice cream and good service.

Vince Orsino is the third-generation owner of Pete's Hot Dogs in Newburgh, started by his grandfather.

"He started going up by the high school and peddling hot dogs. The city stopped him from doing that," Orsino said.

But he was not to be deterred, and bought their current location. That was 1932. Orsino's father then owned it before Vince himself got involved with the family business.

"After I got out of the Marine Corps in 1964 ... and I've been here ever since,” Orsino said.

And many of the customers have been getting hot dogs there for generations as well.

"They're the best. Always were, always will be," said customer Don Blair.

Blair has been coming by almost as long as the place has been open. As a kid, he lived on a farm in Cooperstown. He says their produce trucks would drive through on their way to market in New York City.

Blair says Pete's was such a mainstay on the trip, the shop was used as a meet-up point for farm trucks.

"The standard thing was, I'll meet you at Pete's," Blair said.

So he hopes the tradition carries on.

"When I was in eighth grade, I started working here,” said Vince's daughter, Renee Purcell. "When I went to college, I worked here in the summers."

Then Renee moved to New York City. When she and her husband decided to have children, they moved back to Newburgh and a few months later, a position opened up.

She and her brother work the grills, and she says soon, yet another generation will join them.

"I think my son's going to work here this fall. He will be 13," Purcell said.

And although she can't predict the future, Renee hopes he will keep the business in the family.

"You just hope that it keeps going on, and you know you never know what your kids will want to do in life," Purcell said

But if these customers had any say, it'll be a future with hot dogs in it.
