It's no surprise that this Upper West Side dive, basically an indoor hot dog stand, has been packing them in since the 1970s. Its prices are still circa the 1970s. There's really only one reason to come here: cheap hot dogs, round-the-clock. At just over a dollar, the broiled or grilled beef hot dogs are the best value in town, especially when you add on sauerkraut, onions, mustard and other accoutrements. What makes it even more unique is that everyone washes it down with a tropical drink -- like pina colada or papaya juice. The decor is more 'gray' than 'papaya' and about as inspiring as a tire iron -- grungy and neglected. Many connoisseurs of the beef dog swear by Gray's (or swear when they can't get Gray's), but even occasional users can appreciate the Recession Special -- two dogs, one drink: $3.50.

Village location
RALLHMLTN - 11/08/2008I have only been to the one in the Village. Great place to go late night. Watch the NYU film students schlep their equipment back to school while eating the Recession Special. Also, witness the proper handling of bums who attempt to bother the patrons. A real slice of big city Americana. Too much fun!

Overrated
Zliciousone - 09/15/2008It took us a while to find this place and when we finally got there the food was poor at best. I found their service to be very poor an food to be mediocre at best. I thought the hot dog stands throughout the city had a better deal. We did the recession special 2 hot dogs for 3.50 a good price but okay at best in taste. Definitely I could have done without.
