Any suggestions, we live in the Northampton area? Mon Jun 29 06:33:37 -0700 2009 1089427 mulv67 1 4814744 How about Nick's Nest in Holyoke? They've been there forever, and they are the best! 1597 Northampton St., Holyoke, MA 413-532-5229 Mon Jun 29 08:21:33 -0700 2009 4814455 1088731 Hanuman1960 2 5203127 What are the dogs at Nick's Nest like? Are they open year round? Mon Nov 23 13:22:46 -0800 2009 4814744 211758 corinnerose 1 4814770 I'm not sure if it is because the hotdogs are good or just because our general love for our summer tradition, but my family always goes to a little ice cream/sandwich place across from the Turners Falls airport for sauerkraut or chili cheese dogs. That plus one of their giant ice cream cones makes me so happy... Mon Jun 29 08:34:25 -0700 2009 4814455 76932 wmassnative 1 4814902 Teo's Hot Dogs on East St. in Pittsfield. My personal favorite are the Chili Dogs at the East Lee Package Store on Rt. 20 in Lee just east of the Outlet Stores. Mon Jun 29 09:20:19 -0700 2009 4814455 176650 Lenox637 2 4816841 Nick's Nest dogs are just plain awful. The best dogs are at the snack bar in Look Park Northampton. Dogs grilled in butter with grilled buns. Just like the Howard Johnson's hot dogs of yore. Just order a bag of chips and an orangeade and you're in a time machine back to say, 1958. Mon Jun 29 20:15:41 -0700 2009 4814902 18016 Big Fat Moe 2 4817536 Another vote for Teo's if you're in Pittsfield. They are unique and sorta the Pitts' only indigenous food? Mini lightly grilled hot dogs served on steamed little buns with 3 traditional toppings: mustard, meat sauce and chopped onions. Sadly, Whorle's no longer makes the dogs (which were snappy and great) but the substitute is acceptable. I think an adventurous kid would love them! Tue Jun 30 06:55:27 -0700 2009 4814902 158319 mjoyous 3 4824977 Actually, these little Pittsfield dogs are native to nearby downtown Troy NY where they have been an institution for generations. Head to Troy and there are a number of these excellent little old joints downtown. Best with the meat sauce! I love 'em Thu Jul 02 11:53:17 -0700 2009 4817536 18016 Big Fat Moe 4 4827706 Have tried most of the Troy mini-hd joints, but still stand by the original Whorles @ Teo's as the best. Sadly, another part of the past. Fri Jul 03 12:52:02 -0700 2009 4824977 158319 mjoyous 5 4827715 second that!! Fri Jul 03 13:00:07 -0700 2009 4827706 176650 Lenox637 1 4817323 I had a bite of the chili/cheese dog from Skip's Roadside Diner on Rte 2 in Gill, MA. It was delicious! I already had a plateful of pierogies and kapusta, otherwise I would have wanted more. Tue Jun 30 05:30:11 -0700 2009 4814455 15551 Bri 1 4824865 Head to North Adams, check out Kid's Space at MASS MoCA and hit Jack's Hot Dogs on Eagle St. It's a north county establishment.

Tom's Hot Dog 37 State Rd South Deerfield, MA 01373 (413) 665-2931‎ Mon Jul 06 10:11:42 -0700 2009 4814455 211758 corinnerose 2 4834173 I'll second Tom's Long Dog's, very close to you in Northhampton. I'm thinking its in Whately? Mon Jul 06 13:56:13 -0700 2009 4833319 12683 Peznt 1 5196504 The hot dog place next to Look Park is Scotties, located on Route 9 just north of the park. Insanely good hot dogs, footlongs, steamed, in a buttered toasted bun , hand cut skin-on french fires,,too bad they are closed for the season. weekend specials include steamers, fried oysters, fried clams (available summer only) Great spot. They also have ice cream and a driving range. they re-open early spring. Fri Nov 20 10:14:53 -0800 2009 4814455 1110059 bouls
