Yesterday night, I had an intense craving for hot dogs from one specific place in the city: Crif Dogs. The restaurant, located on St. Mark's Place, serves delicious hot dogs topped with a bunch of fixings, ranging from avocado to sour cream.
Besides its great food, Crif Dogs is also awesome for a bunch of other reasons. First off, there's the decor:
Second off, there are tables with arcade games installed into them, so that you can eat your food and play at the same time:
(I got the high score. Woo!)
The coolest part about Crif Dogs, however, is the secret bar that exists inside the restaurant. To find it, look for the old-fashioned phone booth next to the bathroom. Then pick up the red phone inside and press the buzzer ONLY once. If you follow these instructions correctly, a voice will answer and the side of the phone booth wall should open to let you inside the bar.
Once access is granted, you can enjoy the rest of your evening by ordering food from Crif’s kitchen and having a nice drink or two (or three). We're not judging you.
