HOT DOG!

This month the Village Voice shares with us their picks for best hot dog in New York City. My favorites don't really match theirs although they picked some small joints that I've never heard of but will for sure try out.

As for my picks, I always enjoy a Gray's Papaya, but my favorite is Papaya King on 86th and 3rd. Crif Dogs is a very popular late night joint on St. Mark's and Underdog is a great place to eat cheap and smell like grease for the rest of the day.

A word of warning, when eating a tube steak off a cart, never get onions. The sauce they set in not only tastes bad but stains horribly. My shoes have a giant spot reminder of why I just get mustard on the street.

As for Nathan's, I've never made it down there but have no doubt that they make one of the best dogs ever. That Japanese guy seems to approve.
