Whitmans

Whitmans is a hot dog joint in the East Village that offers a more sit-down-oriented dining room located downstairs from the original tiny counter setup. The rustic space seats 26 and nearly triples the restaurant’s overall capacity, featuring chicken-print wallpaper, reclaimed New Hampshire barn wood, and windows salvaged from the old New York Times building. Guests order from an expanded version of the upstairs menu, with table service available for favorites like the pimento-cheese-stuffed Juicy Lucy and flash-fried “crack kale.” Recent menu additions include a peanut-butter-and-bacon-topped PB&B burger, a Meat Hook garlic sausage served with spicy mustard and beer-caramelized onions, and an iceberg wedge dressed with bacon, croutons, and buttermilk blue cheese. The street location is on 10th Avenue.
