Tough, isn't it? I went with the way I'd talk if I was very relaxed and not thinking about it and visiting at home. Even more when my maternal grandparents were alive and I'd visit South Jersey more frequently. Besides, even if what you say is fairly grammatical, it might not sound like that: "I'm going down to the Acme Market"= "Imo an down anna Acame Market." ("Acme," BTW, has three syllables in it. "AC-a-mee.")
