Crif Dogs in New York City
For quick infusions of caloric pleasure, head for Crif Dogs on St. Mark’s Place, where t
he proprietors insist on deep-frying their wieners in great bubbling vats of oil. The result is
a shiny, nearly glowing hot dog that bursts with rich flavor. Crif Dogs: A funky East Village Late Night Hog Dog Shack dedicated to taking the All-American Hot Dog, if you are a sucker for spicy foods and reinventing it via a ton of interesting toppings. There aren't many eateries in New York where you can play Galaga, Centipede or Ms. Pac-Man while downing franks, but this place keeps the '80s spirit of the block alive. A 
mixed crowd spraw
ls out among the checkered tables and counter stools, eyeing posted specialties like the Spicy Redneck ("makes you want to marry your cousin") or the more demure root-beer float ("One straw or two?"). Dog choices are limited to the standard Crif (an up-to-snuff smoked frank), the snappier, bolder-tasting all-beef New Yorker and the 
veggie, delivered in signature combos, rangin
g from the satisfying chili dog to more eccentric styles. Once you've abandoned yourself to the lipid-rich, brain-dissolving Chihuahua--wrapped in bacon and topped with avocado and sour cream--you may be ruined for any other 3 am meal. Fries are somewhat bland, but the shakes and egg creams add flair. The cheese fries were some of the best. This place is awesome for a quick dinner on the cheap. The hot dogs are de
licious and the tat
er tots are crispy.
