Lonely Planet review for Original Hot Dog Shop

Affectionately nicknamed 'dirty Os' or 'the O' by locals, this is a favorite for its cheap dogs and mounds of crispy fries - especially after a night at the bars.

    The O

    leowens recommends this,

    The O (not the dirty O, locals don't call it that) is a great place to people watch if you are quiet and keep to yourself. The food is delicious going down but will leave some feeling icky - but that won't stop them from returning. The best things to get are a small or medium order of fries (the O's sizes are huge, a large is roughly the size of a small child), a chili dog and a chocolate milkshake.

    This place also serves alcohol with proper ID. Not a destination for the late-late night if it can be avoided, but definitely worth a daytime visit.
