8 Nostalgic Spots Within An Hour's Drive Of NYC

"Need some excitement? Want to spice up your life but not with too much spice? Find a car, drive to Lodi, New Jersey, and eat a 'Hot' Chili Texas Weiner at Hank’s Franks. The hot chili isn’t actually very hot, but it is thick and savory, and will cost you exactly $2.94. The all-blue roadside stand has a handful of picnic tables out front, where regulars eat chili dogs at picnic tables under Sabrett-branded umbrellas. Get a spread so you can also try a hot dog with soft chunks of potato and tangy ‘Hot’ Italian Onions—also fairly mild. If you’re here with a group, order eight dogs. You’ll get a ninth one for free." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman
