Hot Dog

I'm so far behind in my blogging ... good thing I don't do this for a living.

There are three reasons why you might end up at Walters, a locally famous hot-dog vendor on Palmer Avenue between Larchmont and Mamaroneck. The first might be that you found yourself stuck on the NY Thruway and decided to cut through town on US-1 to avoid it, or you decided that the $1.25 Thruway toll was just too much. Still, unless you know what you are looking for, you probably would have driven past this somewhat un-assuming building around the 900th block of Palmer.

More likely a local friend would have introduced you to the messy but tasty goodness of dogs split open and fried on the griddle and served on a bun that was also toasted on the griddle (with butter, I beleive). Are your arteries hardening yet?

Worth a visit if you are headed out of NYC for CT, and if you get off the Thru-way at New Rochelle, the $1.25 you save in tolls will cover a bit more than 2/3 the cost of your first dog.

Go there.
