25 Iconic Dishes That Define NYC

"The Dish: Frank Around the corner from La Dinastia is this overwhelmingly yellow “hot doggery”—a 72nd Street landmark founded and little-updated since 1973. It’s OK to be slightly dubious about the $3.25 franks glistening behind a counter next to random buckets of relish, and the dispensers of florid, tropical fruit-flavored drinks. A single bite of a snappy Sabrett dog, buried under condiments, will put you at ease. In it’s spongy bun, drizzled with condiments and accompanied by a sweet papaya shake, Gray’s hot dog reminds you that this ubiquitous NYC food is—just like the city itself—actually kind of weird, and still kind of wonderful." - bryan kim, sonal shah, willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja
