Hot Dogs for the Fourth

I know this post is a little belated, but I think the fact that I am posting about Walter’s makes up for my delay. Walter’s is a hot dog stand in Mamaroneck, NY that has been around since 1919 (the centennial is fast approaching!) If you’ve tried their hot dogs, you will understand why they have been around for so long and why there is usually a long line to buy some.

What I love about Walter’s hot dogs is that they halve their hot dogs. Thus, they grill their hot dogs not only on the outside but also on the inside, making these dogs nice and crispy. I also like that the dogs are not that large, but this could also be problematic because I want to eat so many of them!

With my hot dogs, I ordered a side of shoestring fries and a coffee shake (AMAZING). I am a big sweet potato fries fan, but I do not recommend Walter’s sweet potato spuds, which i find too mushy on the inside (this is probably my only criticism for Walter’s).

We sat in the nice garden right by the stand while enjoying our dogs and eagerly anticipating the fireworks.

Here’s a test firework I captured. I didn’t want to take pics during the real show. This year, the fireworks disappointed me, mainly because the smiley face fireworks were all upside down. But it was still a great Fourth.
