What People Are Saying About Crif Dogs
The Editor
Karen Hudes
Citysearch
A mixed crowd sprawls out among the checkered tables and counter stools, eyeing posted specialties like the Spicy Redneck ("makes you want to marry your cousin") or the more demure root-beer float ("One straw or two?"). Dog choices are limited to the standard Crif (an up-to-snuff smoked frank), the snappier, bolder-tasting all-beef New Yorker and the veggie, delivered in signature combos, ranging from the satisfying chili dog to more eccentric styles. Fries are somewhat bland, but the shakes and egg creams add flair.

Awesome Dogs!

Crif Dogs is a really cool little place tucked away at the end of St. Mark's near the park - you can find it by the "Eat Here" hot dog signs. I've always found the counter girls to be friendly and the dogs can't be beat. I like the New York snappy dog - a skinny little tasty morsel hidden in the soft Wonder bun... all it needs is a little mustard... my friends love the Chihuahua Crif dog. I recommend grabbing one and heading over to the park to watch the real dogs in action or just kick back at one of the little tables inside. They have some cool retro video games - and a mystery behind the phone booth. Bottom line - a fun place with character and real good dogs.
