50 Best Hot Dogs near Manhattan

“First time here today! Will def be back! Apollo and Mahi taco-amazing!!!!!! Thanks Eva's!“

“Honestly, these are the best hot dogs in all of New York. The bun, the sausage, the mix of flavors, the way they’re prepared… everything is truly on another level. The person who served us —I imagine he’s the owner— was super friendly. You can really tell when people put passion into what they do. Highly recommended!“

“When my brothers were kids, they would stop to eat at Hiram"s on their way back from Palisade's Amusement Park. My mom would always ask why. My brothers replied, "the food is better at Hiram's! When I worked for Thomas J. Lipton in Englewood Cliffs, my co-workers and I went to Hiram's for lunch often. I plan on going very soon! I so love Hiram's for the food and it's longevity.“

“The pictures are of the food taken out of their original to go containers.

Had the Maracucha Burger, Medianoche, Capitaleno Dog, and Venezuelan Dog.

Burger was the best thing from this order.

Pernil was alright in general but you can find better.

Definitely get your money's worth here.

Will be back.“

“So delicious! You must order at the kiosks outside, and then walk in the back to pick up your order. Service was fast and you can tell they take care to make sure quality is satisfactory. The space was clean, although there’s no where to sit or stand and eat. So you have to take your food outside and find a spot, which is not always pleasant because 32nd street is very busy. Regardless, the hot dog was so tasty and the portion size was large. I would come back here!“

“Try the Baked beans and Cole Slaw hot dog. Excellent. My Dad goes there every Monday for dinner. They treat him so well there. I really appreciate everyone that works there. I rate them 4 thumbs up 👍👍👍👍“

“I have been buying their hot dogs for 48 years and they have the best chili. I travel 1-1/2 hours to buy their chili for my BBQ parties.“

“Great place Great food very nice people“

“Hot dog itself seems like it's deep fried so the skin is crisp while the inside stays juicy, with great pork flavor. The bun is pretty normal which seems like a waste when so much effort is put into the hot dog and toppings. Restaurant gets pretty loud and crowded with all the speakeasy customers but we were able to find a seat even on Saturday night.

The hot dogs are on the smaller side so you can have one as a light meal or combine it with tater tots. Splitting two hot dogs and a side of loaded tater tots between two people is good for a full meal.

Lil Ma hot dog - was intrigued by the peanut butter and it paired pretty well with the acidity of the pickles
Elote hot dog - not as impressed by this one but good if you like the toppings included
Nacho tater tots - reminds me of something you'd make at late night in a college dining hall and really hits the spot after a long day of walking around NYC“

“This spot has become my midday go-to. The dishes satisfied us yet weren't the best we've encountered. The employees delivered outstanding service quality. The neighborhood provides extended entertainment. This place is worth coming back to.“

“Billy is the most amazing and nice guy! I arrived at the last minute before he closed and not only he was very nice, but did not allow me to pay for my hot dog. Simple, but great cleana and fresh hod dog to complement your walk in Central Park!“

“Si estas en NY tienes que ir Comer ponerle todas las salsas y tomarte una foto cool 😎“

“The best in NYC!! I love it!!!!“

“An absolute amazing experience! With me riding a bike having the window to just drive right up to an order is an A+! The woman helping me at the window was extremely nice and honestly beyond generous manners. I could not recommend this place enough also has a nice beautiful seating outside not only do they have hotdog but they have chicken, fish, pastrami, macaroni, salad, etc..

HIGHLY highly recommend!!!“

“LOVE this stand! The best in NY! Support the vets who fought for our country! The food is fresh and perfect! 👌🏻“

“With an appetite on the search for a corndog, we avoided the questionable city food trucks and google searched the closest one; Chelsea Papaya turned up.

The corndog as seen in the photo, was crunchy, great balance of mustard, ketchup, cornbread and overall ✨amazing✨ soo if you’re particularly looking for a cornbread, check the place out. Staff was nice.

will come back“

“Doughnuts are super yummy! And the milkshakes are soooo good!“

“Got the half mozzarella, half beef dog with the potato coating and it hit the spot. Super crispy on the outside, cheesy and juicy on the inside. It is one of those things where you take a bite and immediately want another.

Edit: I wish it came with a full beef dog instead of just half, and the kimchi fries didn’t include enough fries or kimchi for what we paid.“

“First noticed while watching the movie Fools rush in. Since my last name is Gray I always wanted to go there. Been there in 2010 the first time and immediately fell in love. A couple a weeks ago I went to New York on short notice and the first thing on my to do list was going there. Say what you want. Those are the best hot dogs on the planet. And I will go there again everyone I visit NYC. You just have to love them❤️“

“My buddy talked highly of this place so I gave it a shot. In less than a month I've made the trip 3 times and can't wait foe the next. The owner and his wife are fantastic, welcoming, and super into thier craft. I say craft because these aren't generic combinations, theyre thought out combinations and flavors that work perfectly in whatever way you like. It's my favorite hot dog spot I've ever visited. I can't wait to go again!“

“I recently moved to the area and Ive been on the hunt for the best food in the area - one of which was finding my new go to korean fried chicken place. This place did not disappoint and the high reviews left here are worth the hype. Ordered the spicy soy garlic + fries combo and it was deeeelicious. Fresh, hot, with the perfect amount of spice and the wings are bigger than what you'd get at a chain fried chicken restaurant. I also upgraded my fries to the truffle parmesean - truffle isnt as outstanding of a flavor but the parm was pretty good. The service is also so nice! Ill definitely be back to try their other food~“

“Great view, and great staff, there were always long lines for the 2 bathrooms though. I also do NOT recommend the margaritas, they are pre-batched with some nasty mixers. Stick to the 1&1 (vodka soda, gin tonic etc), or beer. Our friends did order the burger, and it looked and smelled amazing.“

“Righteous 💪 worth the trip, worth the money. Take a moment and tip the staff slicing and preparing your food. Absolutely worthwhile to make the trip. I drove 45 minutes out of my way to try the food and I’m happy I made the effort, my craving was satisfied.“

“This is a perfect little snack spot right outside The US OpenTennis Center with a variety of very affordable, tasty breakfast, lunch and snack options to satisfy everyone. There are enough tables and benches around for enjoying the scenery and people watching while you dine.“

“Loved my time at this place, Dave the bartender/ Bar manager was great to talk with and made me the smoothest Manhattan I have ever had. All the staff were great as well. Food came quick and smash burger and waffle fries were on point. Will be back !“

“Best mochinuts I’ve had!! Great place, super friendly staff and amazing food and drinks!! I love this place!!“

“I’ve tried over a dozen Halal carts in the city, and this one has by far the best chicken over rice. Once you try it, you’ll go out of your way to come here every time you crave halal.

The chicken is juicy and always perfectly flavored and cooked. All ingredients are fresh. The sauces are great, and the red sauce is VERY spicy (love it)

The folks running it are super friendly and the cart is kept clean.

I’m legitimately concerned that once people find out about this place, there will lines around the block. It’s one viral TikTok away from becoming an overcrowded tourist spot.“

“BEST hot dogs in NYC hands down! Recommended 100%. Also try the other amazing Venezuelan specialties they have to offer. You won't regret it ;)“

“Friend just brought me here for breakfast, street parking can be a bit challenging otherwise the place was great. Seating was plentiful.

My friend and I ate a bacon egg and cheese on toast. The entire sandwich is a beautiful presentation. The toast was golden brown, warm and sliced as to envelope the ingredients. The cheese a warm gooey skin around the walls of the toast. The bacon, added wonderful flavor to the fluffiest eggs I have seen in quite a while. I highly recommend stopping in and trying it for yourself. Your taste buds will thank you!“

“The egg toasts were delectable! Actually so happy my sister and I chose to come by. It has a tiny kick of spice which was a pleasant surprise. My sister got the vanilla flat white coffee and she loved it and finished it so quickly. The only thing I wasn't over the
moon for was the corndog. I got the mozarella hot dog corn dog and it was okay. I wouldn't get it again.

The space is small but offers some seating indoors and outdoors. I will definitely try to come again for the egg toast specifically.“

“A quick stop at Nathan's Famous with all items available on menu. Great service from the senoras holding it down in that area of BK. Clean. Quick. Great fresh food. Amid other amenities to grab on the go with really banging desserts available at the same spot. Definitely a place to visit when you're itching for that kind of food experience. A very New York food experience.“

“I ate a really good hamburger here for the price of a fast food hamburger. Please support local small businesses. This is a cash-only place with an ATM available.“

“Great late night place to grab a bite.“

“Went there today for the first time with my wife, I had the 10 West burger, so delicious, cooked perfectly and the burger was huge, just the right number of toppings and the bacon jam hit it out of the park. The sweet potato fries were excellent and enough for two people. The chips that come with the burger were also good. My wife had the regular burger with no cheese and an order of regular fries. She really enjoyed it and said it was cooked perfectly. The staff was friendly, the owner, Mel, greeted us, took our order and chatted with us while our order was being prepared. We were given a little disc that lit up and vibrated when the order was ready to be picked up at the counter. One of the best burgers around! A little pricy, but definitely worth it! We'll be going back for another delicious mouthwatering experience!“

“Our party of six received excellent service. The atmosphere encourages you to relax. You'll find outstanding meals at reasonable rates. The staff combined warmth with helpful attitudes and easy conversation. To sum up, service was attentive and I want to try this place again.“

“Out of this world burger..“

“This place is always on point. Burgers always juicy and tasty. Fries always crisp ! Always a return customer on a weekly basis !“

“The food is always great here! Service is great. If there is a downside, I would say too many people. But it's not their fault. Just the area. There is outside seating. Nothing really healthy here, but they know that. Come for comfort food, not healthy.“

“Good mochi donuts on the go! The flavors are best and the dough is soft and gooey! Love the ube flavor! Location: It is located inside Hmart grocery store. Once you enter go right side and you will find the food court. There is a few seatings inside, but due to covid it is better to take the donuts home. Service: I did not have any interaction with the employees. We just order and go. Food: All that we ordered was delicious, we had UBE, MATCHA, YUZU, NUTELLA, COOKIES and CREAM and BLACK SESAME. My favorites are UBE and BLACK SESAME, they have distinct flavors. The dough is soft and gooey, which is what I like for a mochi donut. Price rating: 7/10, it was not that bad for the price. The donut is good! Will definitely come back here if I visit again Hmart in this location! Get the Ube and Black Sesame!“

“We went yesterday to celebrate our 3 year anniversary. I had never been here before so this was the sweetest surprise. The host was so welcoming and gave us a choice for upstairs dining or downstairs and let us see both before we made a decision. We chose downstairs and were seated near this big, beautiful clock. Our server, Randy, was absolutely the BEST EVER! He was so attentive, made great recommendations, and checked on us frequently. The food was delicious...from the potato skins, to the truffle burger, and the sundae...we we so impressed. The restaurant knew it was our anniversary and surprised us with two glasses of champagne which made us feel so special. The roaming photographer was a nice touch and we loved the picture used in the complimentary postcard so much, that we bought two others. It was a great evening and we thank the staff so much for making such a special night for us“

“The girls at the counter are super nice and very aesthetic. The place seems really nice and the food here is super good. I’ve been eating here for the past two years with my boyfriend and we both love it at all price matches, food quality, and will forever come every day of my life Every hour“

“We love coming here! The food always hits, we come frequently. This last time we tried the chilli cheese fries both with and without cheese, A MUST TRY. We also had burgers #32. Gains Burger cooked well done - came as requested #12. Bacon Royal Burger cooked medium - came as requested. The price is fair for what you get and we will always pay for great quality.“

“Chili dog and fries were very good. It took longer than expected to order and get the food because there was only one person taking orders and cooking. The Nathan’s share the space with Pizza Hut and dunkin so that’s cool if you want to order from multiple spots. I will come again.“

“Stopped by Jackson Heights, it was delicious & well worth the Q70 bus ride & walk from LGA & back. ���“

“great food and great service“

“Hamburguesas deliciosas y las papas con salsa de queso!!!!“

“I got the B4 burger which was sexy and glorious. Portioned to perfection. My only qualms were with the wings. A bit dry for me and they weren’t tossed in the sauce as the sauce lay at the bottom of the packaging.
Got to also watch El-clasico whilst waiting for my food too.“
