Where did you buy yours back in the day?

In the Bronx it was GORMANS on Fordham Road and downtown it was NEDICKS in the Rock Center Plaza at 50th Street

I got my Nedicks Dogs at 161st and River across the street from Yankee Stadium or at the lower level of the Port Athority at the subway exit.

Oye vey! the best dogs were kosher at our local deli Witkens.

MOSKOV DELI ON MT. EDEN AVE. WERE THE BEST POTATO SALAD AND MUSTARD AND A DR. BROWNS CHERRY SODA TO WASH IT DOWN.

We use to brike ride to Advertures Inn in yonkers. Or nathans in Coney Island

Besides Gormans on fordham road ,in my neighborhood there was Epsteins Deli on Jerome and Gun Hill.Kosher dogs topped with potato salad.I can still hear the crunch when you bit into them.

Colin I went to that Epsteins too. It gone now but there other location on Central Ave is still there, and not changed very much

Yup, there are two Epsteins in Westchester. One in Yonkers and one in Hartsdale.

Anywhere I could, Jewish delis, Nedicks by The Stadium! Boy I miss NY hot dogs. This year for Father's Day, my kids gave me one of those rotating hot dog cookers. Cooking them this way really reminds me of my youth in The Bronx. The same taste of Hebrew National hot dogs, with mustard and sauerkraut only here in NH!

there is nothing better than a dirty water hot dog! only someone coming from the bronx would understand that.hehe

Nowadays I get one at The Court Deli on 161st St & Walton Ave topped with potato salad... heaven!

For a regualer treat I pop into the Nedicks on W 31st St btwn 7th & 8th Aves (near Penn Sta.)

Of course, once or twice a year I hit Coney Island for some fun and lunch/dinner at Nathan's!

I sure do miss Nedicks!

I like the ****y Hot dogs so Nedicks was not a favorite of mine, but I liked there hot dog buns and orange drink

GORMANS HOTDOGS WERE VERY GOOD =

Okey where exactly was Gormans. I seem to remember two Hot Dog places on Fordham Road and the Concourse. Both were on the south side of Fordham one on the west side the other the east.

Gormans was on the southeast side near Valentine Ave across the street from the theatres....I don't remember any hot dog joint on West Fordham Rd.

Thanks Mike, I remember the place. I know I had hot dogs there. It just did not make that big a impresion on me. I never thought Jahns was that good either . I prefered Addie Vallines. I did like the candy at Krums. Its a shame there all gone. I know Jahns is on LI

Funny thing....I lived all those years in that nabe and never stepped foot inside JAHN's...I worked in the Soda Fountain at Krums(after school) for a few months in 67.

Hey Mike, we both agree that on Fordham Road the tops in dogs was Gormans, now how many could you eat at one time? I remember being able to do 4 without blinking, that's with mustard & sauerkraut. I remember a delicatessen on Tremont Ave named Lessoff's, which started my hot dog gourmet senses going when I was a kid. Talk about snappy dogs! There is something so delicious about grilled dogs. I never, ever would eat a boiled hot dog. It seems like a violation of some holy order. There's just no flavor.
