| New Yorkers hardly need to search for a hot dog---they’re on every street corner---but they do need to search for a good one. Crif Dogs, a neighborhood staple in the East Village, turns out delicious (and alcohol-absorbent) variations on the humble dog late into the night. You can get a regular tube steak with all the classic toppings, but why do that, when you could help yourself instead to a “Chihuahua,” a hot dog wrapped in bacon and covered with avocado and sour cream? The minds at Crif Dogs have no fear when it comes to tinkering with the frankfurter; they’ll even top it with chili and jalapeños (“Spicy Redneck”). There are a variety of sides, including crisp tater tots, but night-owls flock here for the dogs, and they are rarely disappointed. |
