Hot dog carts

Downtown Buffalo's staple street food is served by the open-air hot dog carts that work the busy street corners of the business district. Regular hot dogs (invariably Wardynski's, for some reason) go for around $2, but bigger spenders can also enjoy jumbo all-beef franks, Polish and Italian sausage dogs, and, in some cases, burgers. Most carts also offer a value pack of two hot dogs and a drink, which usually run about $4.50. Vendors cook your food before your eyes on portable outdoor grills, slather on the condiments of your choice, and customers can fish soft drinks out of Styrofoam coolers on the sidewalk nearby. On weekdays from roughly 9AM-4:30PM you'll find a dozen or more hot dog carts up and down Main Street, as well as other spots with heavy foot traffic, such as Niagara Square and Canalside. Some operate on weekends too, but they're much fewer and further between outside of business hours.
