Perhaps you are asking, Where the heck is Naugatuck, CT? Well, Naugatuck--and Al's--is actually very easy to get to if you are traveling between Boston and New York City. Located about 5 minutes south of Waterbury (and Route 84) along Route 8, Naugatuck is a 
sleepy old mill town that is situated in a valley a half hour north of Long Island Sound. Al's Hot Dog Stand, which is tucked into a hillside next to the highway, is every bit as unassuming as Naugatuck itself, so it seems the perfect place for an old Hot Dog joint like this.
Al's is a pretty straightforward place; people park under a huge billboard that faces the highway, walk up to the window to order, then grab a picnic
table and wait for their order. And what they wait for is indeed something special; foot-long Hummel Hot Dogs, crinkle-cut fries, birch beer, and so much else (if you're not into Hot Dogs, that is). The Hot Dogs are nearly perfect, with a thin casing, a delicious toasted roll, and cheese or chili added to the dog if you want it.
