3rd and Walnut Hot Dogs

An enthusiastic entrepeneur braves the elements before all Reds home games to set up a hot dog stand at the corner of 3rd and Walnut, just outside the Scripps building.  The one-man mobile restaurant has become a staple of mine for every Reds game.

All beef Nathan's hot dogs are the big seller with recent additions to the menu such as "mets" and the occasional bratwurst.  He stocks a variety of toppings and condiments including ketchup, mustard, Cleveland's own stadium mustard, cheese, onions, and jalapenos to name a few.  To wash down the delicious dogs, a choice of gatorade, water, or common canned pop products like mountain dew, coke, and pepsi can also be purchased.  The prices are fair and definitely better than inside the stadium.  At $3 a dog or 2 for $5 and pop or water for a buck, Drew's hot dog cart is a must-stop before venturing into GABP.

This displaced Clevelander has become an avid Reds fan and is evident by his devotion to his work and extensive collection of bobblehead dolls on display.  If you want an inexpensive meal with the "New York City vendor" feel, stop by and pick up a dog or two.
