Nathan's, Coney Island, Brooklyn

Discover NYC

When it comes to hot dogs, if you're looking for the real thing then you must go to Coney Island to the Original Nathan's! They've been in Coney Island since 1916! That's right, over 100 years! Nathan's hotdogs are the most famous in the world. I think they might also taste better at Coney Island!

If you happen to go on the 4th of July you can also see the Nathan's Hotdog Eating Contest. Joey Chestnut the reigning champion for the last few years, ate 72 hot dogs in 10 minutes in the 2017 contest!!! Yikes. But you might want to have just one hotdog. You can say that you had a hotdog at a restaurant that the legendary mobster Al Capone was known to eat at when he was in the neighborhood.
