It's National Hot Dog Day, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a New York City frank.
Many New Yorkers may head for one of the city’s many dirty water stands or go with stalwarts like Papaya King or Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs in Coney Island.
But if you’re looking for something a little less traditional, you have dozens of other options. City guide app Foursquare has put out a list of the 10 most unique franks in the city.
Here are recommended orders, according to some of the app’s users.
