New York Hotdog and Coffee

New York is also known as the city that never sleeps. Whether New Yorker’s got that label by drinking too much coffee or by having insomnia, it has not yet been confirmed. Nevertheless, New York is a fast-paced and exciting place to live in. New York boasts its Madison Square Garden, Times Square, Grand Central Station, Empire State Building, Wall Street, Italian Restaurants, Buffalo wings, and Bagel with lox, New York Style Hotdog and Coffee.

Have you ever seen Hollywood movies that were shot in New York? The movie ‘Men in Black’ was shot in New York back in 1997. If you remember anything from that movie apart from the adoration you feel for agents J and K, then you might have noticed the dozens of hotdog and coffee vendors on the outskirts. This is because almost every corner is graced with the presence of a hotdog and coffee cart. Hotdogs slathered with minced meat chili, ketchup, mustard and onions is the classic New York style. And with 10 million hot dogs consumed by New York alone, 10-15% of these hotdogs were bought at hotdog and coffee carts.

Apart from hotdogs, coffee is also a big hit with New Yorkers. With coffee being one of the top 3 preferred beverages worldwide, it would be crazy not to sell coffee as well. Classic brewed coffee, cappuccinos and espressos can be bought at your nearest hotdog and coffee vendor. The beauty of having these street carts is the convenience they present. Since most New Yorker’s motto in life is ‘Time is Gold’, they definitely do not want to waste it waiting in line for 20 minutes at a Starbucks outlet. 1-2 minutes is all you need to get a cuppa at a coffee stand.

Hotdog and coffee stands have their own advantages. When you in a hurry to get to work on an empty stomach, a hotdog and coffee can give you the nourishment you need to continue on. The sustenance that you can get from the hotdog and the refreshing jolt from coffee is perfect for on-the-go professionals.

So, if you have always wanted to go to New York or if you are going to New York soon, watch out for the hotdog and coffee stands. After all, you would have never had the true New York experience if you haven’t bought from a hotdog and coffee stand while on the way to Times Square.
