Lafayette Coney Island Restaurant Review: Open nearly round the clock since 1918, the Lafayette is where the Coney dog, that marriage between a skin-wrapped hot dog and spicy chili, was first grilled and mated on a bun. Sit at the counter and you may rub elbows with a federal judge on one side and someone who can only afford a Coney on the other. That experience is why you're here. That, and to hear the song of the Coney: “Six on three, two without, four Cokes” yelled out by your waiter. (Translation: two Coneys on three plates, two without onions.) They’re delivered in about two shakes of a mustard jar before you can bite into ’em. Lafayette also serves up the original loose hamburger, along with chili fries. |
