    Is this the best cart in NYC? What do you think?

    • @DWilliam1
      @DWilliam1 Год назад +5

      The guys who own the carts always made money. The hardest part was getting the spot and if you were going to work it yourself. I know people who put their kids through college with a hotdog cart.

      Yes, it is! I think the moist bun is not only the hotdog juices, but also the "dirty water" which Billy likely "seasons" and that may explain the popping flavors you experienced. Billy's, like Gray's Papaya and Papaya King, use the best of all -- Sabretts! I go to Gray's when I want my hotdog grilled and Billy's when I want a dirty water dog.

    We went there today, he was lovely and really kind. We asked about all the great reviews and he said he's not interested in any of the "kit kat or tik tok stuff" he obviously just loves doing a great job. He said that he always uses the best ingredients and showed us the hot dogs and these really expensive onions. We walked across the road, ate it and walked straight back for more. When we got back there was another customer who had done the exact same thing. We would have had a third if there was room. We asked him if many people come straight back within 5 mins and he said it was regular.

    Went to Billy's this afternoon. What a gentleman. I was shocked that a dog with sauerkraut, extra mustard and onion sauce was only $2.00. I basically had to bore a hole in Billy's hand for him to take the tip.
    Great hot dog! It's everything and more that Chris opined. It's now my favorite Manhattan hot dog, followed by Gray's Papaya. But the ambiance of Central Park West blows away Gray's.

    Billy is a NY institution. He is a throwback to what the city used to be. He takes pride in the food he sells and in it's quality. Most hot dog stands in the city are owned in bunches by llc's or veteran owned . And are usually leased out or run by an employee paid by the day. And the quality absolutely sucks. They literally put the "dirt" in dirty water dogs. For me, it's Billy's or nothing as far as street dogs.

    Chris, I'm enjoying your videos more and more. You come across well on camera and are a natural. As far as Billy's, he has it down to a science. Neat and clean cart, loaded with cold drinks and fresh condiments, some homemade. People laugh at these vendors but I can assure you, they are making money and lots of it. Especially Billy. Albeit he doesn't get benefits or paid holidays like us but he's not hurting by any means. He makes money on volume. Great video and keep em coming. Would love to do a Jersey hot dog crawl with you but watching your videos is good enough. Happy new year!

    Je reviens d'un court séjour à New York et je me suis fait un devoir de visiter Billy sur la 93e rue et, surtout, de goûter un de ses hotdogs. Premièrement, l'homme est extrêmement sympathique, de plus, comme j'habite Montréal, il m'a confié avoir habité à Laval à une certaine époque. Malheureusement pour nous québécois, l'hiver a eu raison de ce grec d'origine. C'est sans prétention qu'il me sert ce mets typiquement Newyorkais que, m'inspirant de Chris, je demande garni de moutarde, choux et oignons. J'ai littéralement englouti mon hot dog... et j'ai immédiatement retraversé la rue Central Park W. pour lui en demander un deuxième! La perfection s'appelle Billy's hotdog cart. Merci Chris de me l'avoir fait découvrir. La seule chose sur laquelle je ne suis pas d'accord avec toi c'est que les hotdogs de Billy ne méritent pas une note de 10, mais plutôt, un12! 😉

Being on a bike, Billy's seems better as I don't have to park the bike and go inside but just not sure the best way to get there by bike from the Greenway.
