Nungessers

Woodcliff, Fairview, Anderson Avenue and Bergenline Avenue, at the Bergen-Hudson county line

Nungessers is the name of the confluence of roads that meet at the Hudson and Bergen county line at North Bergen and Fairview in northeastern New Jersey. The area is the former site of the Nungesser's Gutenberg Racetrack, a late 19th-century gaming and gambling venue.[1][2] The neighborhood just south of Nungesser's is called the Racetrack Section and the municipality of Guttenberg is nearby. A White Castle, an early drive-in fast-food chain, originally built in the 1930s has long been a landmark in the neighborhood,[3] as has adjacent North Hudson Park.[4]
