From a fellow New Yorker: most New Yorkers don’t eat Nathan’s unless they are at Coney Island

[d.akhtar]

“You can’t drive through Brooklyn without going to Nathan’s”
yes. Yes you can

[Angel-vdhr]

I love how most food reviews always include “fresh”. It’s a mass produced hotdog…..it’s ok to say it tastes good with a great texture. Not everything is fresh…

When I was a kid, maybe 5 or 6, my dad would come home from work, wake me at around 9pm, we’d go in a taxi to Nathan’s and I could get whatever I want. It’s still some of the best memories I have.

Here’s a line that he’ll never get to hear.
“Hey thats a cool tattoo”

Coney Island to me was a Nathan's hot dog, a paper cup full of crinkly fries, an ear of corn slaked with melted butter, and a drink. Growing up in NYC there were lots of great hot dog vendors: Nedick's operated along the subways and at the entrance to the old Madison Square Garden. Sabrate's were sold from street carts and were everywhere. A decade later, when I worked in Atlantic City directly opposite Steeplechase Pier, there was a Nathans. Almost every day for lunch I had a dog, fries, corn, and a drink. 60 years later I keep Nathan's dogs in my freezer. Nathan's are reliably tasty!

This video doesn't show how Nathan's makes hot dogs, it talks about history of the place.

“I feel like I’m not just a kid from the Midwest, I’m a New Yorker now” no sir, you’re still just another transplant kid from the Midwest, a hot dog won’t change that 🤣🤣

[jonathondefina]

Doesn't really show how Nathan makes the hotdogs, instead goes on how much history they have and that the hot dogs are great.

[olivialivelovelaugh]
