I Will Be At Surf & Stillwell On May 28th...Here's Why

Posted by JayZeeBMT on Fri Apr 29 12:10:47 2016

The original Nathan's Famous on that corner will be selling hot dogs for a nickel, between 11 AM and 2 PM that day, in honor of their 100th anniversary. The line will probably stretch all the way to Kings Highway.

It's too bad there aren't any Nostalgia Train trips or Blue Angels (they used to fly over Coney years ago) scheduled. That would have been perfect...LOL!

With the money they make, they can afford to run that price all day. I was there yesterday. 2 hot dogs, cheese fries and a lemonade came out to almost $23.00!

Are they going to raise the price of the drinks and fries to $10? LOL!

By the time I got to Nathan's franks were 10 cents, fries were 5 cents for a small, and drinks were 5 and 10. Even considering subsequent inflation those were cheap prices.

Wow...that IS pricey! A #1 combo, ONE hot dog, fries, small drink is eight bucks in Midtown.

They can afford to sell hot dogs for five cents all Memorial Day Weekend, and still come out ahead...LOL!

Someone observed that Nathan's frank prices tracked the subway fare, and for some years that seemed to be true.

To make a good comparison know they'd have to issue a FrankroCard to match the MetroCard.

At least at Coney Island the subway would be cheaper.

With a FrankroCard you'd have to wait 18 minutes between each frank.

Is there a limit at 5 cents per hot dog ?

At a nickle each, one could buy a dozen or so.

The Coney Island store(s) sell all items on an "ala carte" basis unlike their various franchised stores which have combos.

The price of a hot dog in the Coney Island Store is getting very close to $5.00.

Yikes! Down here in South Florida, the only stand-alone Nathans are in malls. But selected Miami Subs restaurants carry a few Nathans items. I can get a hot dog combo (dog/fries/drink) even with an extra dog for like $1.50 and price out at $7 and change.

For $7 and change at a decent Hot Dog Truck on Long Island I can get 3 Sabrett's dogs, a small chips and a can of soda.

I usually take two with home-made onion sauce, one with sauerkraut, all with mustard.

Includes tax, served with a smile, and I somehow feel like I've had a luxury lunch.

No worries ... that crap really isn't cheese, but I suppose it can loosely be defined as "dairy" somehow.
