"Ya want that all the way? Onions? Meat? Mustard? Celery salt?" Rhode Islanders know the secret to the plain ol' hot dog! A wiener all the way. This RI tradition began in the 1930's when Nicholas Stevens and his father Anthony moved from Brooklyn to Rhode Island. The original NY System restaurant opened in Providence and in 1981 a second location opened in Cranston, RI and still stands today.
What's the hype? This isn't your ordinary hot dog. If you're a Rhode Islander and are searching to try something new look no further than NY System's classic hot wiener. Start with a natural-casing wiener and top it with mustard, special meat sauce, onion, celery salt on a steamed bun. What better way to wash it down than with a classic coffee milk, one of RI's state drinks along with Dels. Better than chocolate milk, NY System uses coffee syrup in a tall glass of milk to make a decidently smooth drink.
You know it's good if a Food Network star has visited the RI restaurant. In June 2010 Guy Fieri visited NY System and was filmed on the show "The Best Thing I Ever Ate". With over 3,000 fans on Facebook NY System is still going strong in 2010. If you're in a hurry and you're looking for a quick and delicious bite to eat stop by NY System for a hot wiener all the way and coffee milk, your lunch will be under $5!
