Hot Dogs to Save the World

Park Slope, Brooklyn

Many people say getting a "dirty water" hot dog (out of a streetcart) is a must-do for any visit to New York. For those with more discerning palates (or more of a social conscience) there's Bark in Park Slope. It's a perfect storm of every fashionable food buzzword you can think of: local (the "Resources Menu" lists where every item is produced), organic, artisanal, sustainable (the tables are salvaged wood, the napkins, silverware, etc. are recycled or biodegradable).

Sauerkraut dog with mustard and a pickle. The menu says the kraut is "oak-barrel aged"


Definitely better than a dirty water dog. You can taste the quality of the ingredients, but I still wouldn't make a habit of eating $5 hot dogs (or hot dogs in general). Glad to have checked it out.

(my friend's. I only had a bite, but it was definitely tasty)
