Famous Hotdogs – I am not a big fan of Hot Dogs but Gray’s are really great. It is a definite must stop for everyone that comes to the big city, and the price can’t get much better. Imagine one delicious hot dog with a fruit drink for $1.45, or a single frank for 75 cents.
FYI It was also in the movie “Fools Rush In.”

Located in swank SOHO, Manhattan, Balthazar is a great place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also have a bar where you can hobnob with the trendy. The restaurant is akin to a Paris brasserie and the food equally delectable. The desserts are fantastic.

Between Crosby St. and Broadway. 6 train at Spring St. ; J, M, Z at Bowery ; N, R, W at Prince St.

If you are simply in the mood for quick Parisian pastry and a cafe au lait, the Balthazar Boulangerie (Bakery) is just next to the restaurant. It’s not uncommon to see New Yorker’s sitting on the benches in front, sipping their coffee.

Best cupcakes in N.Y. bar none!
