Of course, there is always the question of what to put on the hot dog, and the mystic's reply: "make me one with everything." -----Original Message----- From: Scott Berkman [mailto:scott.berkman@reignmaker.net] Sent: Monday, June 02, 2008 10:40 AM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: RE: NANOG NYC Event For all the food everyone is listing you've missed the #1 NY food (opinion) ... Hot Dogs! Any street vendor will do (get a soft pretzel too) but I'm partial (like many New Yorkers) to Gray's Papaya in the city at least (their real website is "under construction so check out http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&q=gray's+papaya&ll=40.75597,-73.968372 &spn=0.07737,0.117416&z=13). Another option is the original Nathan's on Coney Island. If you like steak, I love Peter Lugar's but if you want something a little cheaper and definitely less stuffy, check out Sammy's Romanian Steaks, not too far from the Williamsburg Bridge (157 Chrystie St). I also want to 2nd Little Italy and the NY Museum of Natural History/Hayden Planetarium as must sees if you've never been to NY. Also try to see a Broadway show, you can find last minute tickets for 1/2 off at TKTS (bring cash!!), but stay away from Time's Square to beat the lines and hit the one at the Southstreet Seaport (this is another cool place to check out anyway and very close to Brooklyn).

Dinosaur is swell, but it's in Syracuse.
Perhaps you could pick one that's reachable by subway instead.
Oh, all right, as about 47 people have pointed out, they have a branch on 131st St. The barbeque is not bad. I eat it at the NY State Fair every year. On the other hand, I would think that in NYC, home of the most wonderful food on the continent,* you could do better than a branch of a yuppie ex biker joint from Syracuse. How about RUB at 23rd and 7th? Or Johnny Utah's at 51st and 5th? Or Oklahoma Smoke up at 145st St?
