dash dogs


damn i say! i had an enjoyable evening friday night with general drinking and cavorting, and found myself at one point in the evening, inside of a fantastically designed 3 dimensional house of hotdogs....and the hotdogs kicked ass too.......

DASH dogs
127 Rivington StreetNew York, NY
212.254.8885

Dash Dogs is a spartan, almost futuristically decorated sliver of a hot dog stand on the Lower East Side. (The design is the work of Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis, the same firm that put together Tides, a striking but disappointing lobster shack around the corner that is partly owned by two of Dash Dog’s proprietors, Steven Yee and Allen Leung.) It serves salty, garlicky Empire National kosher dogs that are griddle crisped on Pepperidge Farm buns with offbeat toppings like avocado salsa. The best dog is a downmarket marriage of the hot dog and the Frito Pie: the stoned dog, piled high with chili and crumbled corn chips.
