If you're a hotdog enthusiast, you'll probably enjoy this unique hotdog stand. Located on the sidewalk in front of The Mark Hotel, one of the fanciest hotels in the city, this cute cart is Chef Jean George's take on a city hotdog but gourmet at a $6 price tag. Which to be honest is a little more expensive than the average city hotdog but you get to pick some unique toppings like kimchi, cucumber and chipotle mayo. The menu is limited with only two options, chicken or grass fed beef hotdog. I decided to go for the beef hotdog with everything! Bun gets toasted and warm. From a presentation stand point, the hotdogs looked beautifully ensamble. I must say it was one of the most unique hotdogs that I have ever tried, in a good way. Somehow all the toppings paired perfectly together. It was delicious and flavorful. You can definitely taste that is a high quality meat. I truly enjoyed it! read more

As I ventured into an old stomping ground for some non-food business, I realized just how infrequently I get into this neighborhood anymore. The Upper East Side continues to be full of activity, but there's not really much reason for me to venture into the land of the $65 a pound lobster salad (yes, for real, although I won't name and shame feel free to guess where I'm talking about). Nonetheless, there are occasions where you simply have to be somewhere and then want to grab something delicious. Even better if the place where you do just that still feels like a bit of a secret... So, The Mark hotel has a Jean-Georges restaurant in it, but this review isn't about that place. It's about the little cart that sits on the sidewalk just outside, and it's worth the trip. Yes you have to eat while standing on the sidewalk. I suppose that you could go down the block and find somewhere in Central Park...but you're a real New Yorker and the sidewalk is more than good enough. As well, there is no way that you're going to make it more than steps away before digging in to this snappy, perfectly balanced dog. The man serving is a delight, which I see others have mentioned, and they take cash (or cards / tap inside the restaurant). However the star of the show is the meat stick with the natural casing. You can pick your toppings, but I recommend getting everything - crisp pickle slices, sauerkraut, and kimchi. Yes, kimchi. Who knew that was what a New York dog was missing. Throw on mustard and chipotle mayo and you're good to go. The fact that each was $6 was also a point of discussion. My take is that it is well worth the price, and although I'd have a tough time imagining the scenario that would demand it, in theory you can get a dirty water dog on 5th Ave for about the same price. If you think of it that way, these hot dogs are a bargain. Enjoy! read more

Putting nostalgia and city romanticism aside, this is the best hot dog stand in NYC. I've had my fair share of dirty water dogs and in my opinion, this upper east side glizzy stand at The Mark has no competition. The quality of the JG dog is incredible, it has an amazing snap casing that you feel in every bite. The unique toppings, toasted buns, and additions like the hot chocolate they offer provide an elevated experience that is befitting of a place like The Mark. Service is very nice, the worker at the stand is attentive and wants you leaving satisfied. Well worth the price of $6. Stop by if you're nearby and get this. read more

Is it a destination location, surely not. However if you're strolling the park in the 77th street area it's definitely worth a few extra steps to get one. Then gentlemen operating the cart on the day of our visit was not only one of the nicest New Yorkers ever, but just an overall friendly human being. The dog is super snappy, beefy and the cucumber, kraut, kimchee, chipotle mayo sauce was a killer combo. Add in some great people watching......as you watch the elite stare down their nose at you as you scarf hot dogs while they hop into Rolls Royces......PRICELESS! read more

Stopped by recently after seeing this place pop up on a popular Food YouTube channel. They make pretty tasty hot-dogs, I must say. Overall a good experience and worth a shot if you're in the area. Only downsides were (a) the wait in line (despite there being only 4-5 people ahead of us, it was at least a 10-15 minute wait - which is a lot, for a couple of hot dogs, no matter how fancy), and (b) the fact that we felt almost...under dressed? It's a fancy hotel, in a relatively fancy area. Everyone in line with us had designer label clothing and/or looked ready to walk down a runway. Whereas myself and my wife had t-shirts and shorts on. Not really an issue, just interesting. Almost as interesting as seeing an affluent/rich 10 year old freak out because he had to wait in line behind us, with his mom. But I digress - only genuine complaint was the wait time. Once we got to the head of the line, we ordered a beef hot dog (they technically have chicken options, but they'd ran out) with Kimchi, Spicy sauce, pickle slices and radish / some other added flavor. Each hotdog cost about $6 - which is surprisingly not that expensive anymore (a regular cart will ask for $4-$5 per hot dog, which is obscene in of itself). The hotdogs were quite tasty, and the meat itself had a nice bite / snap to it. Would I go out of my way to come back here? Maybe not, but it's a unique cart and quite close to Central Park - so if I happened to be in the area, I'd consider grabbing another. read more

This is a fun spot! If you're in the mood for a hot dog and you're in the area, I recommend stopping by. I see other reviewers commented on the value, and to be honest I thought this wasn't a bad deal. You can get your hot dog topped with homemade pickles, mustard, ketchup, chipotle mayo, kimchi and sauerkraut, all for $6. In my view, this is way better than the hot dog you'd get up the block on the perimeter of the park. The man serving the hot dogs today was very nice! I'd return. read more

Not that I'm a hot dog connoisseur, but I've had a few in my day. Plus I'm not a kimchi fan, which was one of the toppings on this haute dog. All the toppings I had laid out on it, pickled cucumbers, kimchi, and the chipotle sauce worked. It worked good. The dog itself still stood out in a great beef flavor and snap. All this on a potato roll. $6 for a "gourmet" dogs I'm with it. Get one, or two, or three...Big ups to the server as well, very friendly staff. The hot chocolate they also serve was a bonus on a chilly NYC day. read more

Delicious hot dog with great service! Also got the hot chocolate which was a little more than I would have expected, but rich, creamy, and delicious nonetheless! read more

I am not one for street meat. I don't care for hot dogs. I don't like eating while walking. I am not a good candidate for any of the carts around Central Park. But a hot dog from Jean-Georges? I'm listening. And I did more than listen - I ate and enjoyed (very much!) this thing. The cart is adorable. The ambiance is otherwise attributable to The Mark itself. The gentleman manning the cart was lovely, and even gave me extra pickles after I devoured the ones he originally set beside my hot dog. They were really good! If anything will convert me to a street meat eater, it will be this hot dog. read more

A hot dog stand in front of a fancy French restaurant seems odd but I must admit the 6 bucks hot dogs with the work ain't bad at all . Grabbed 6 dogs with onions , pickles and mustard and made my way 10 blocks to see my two pals . This upper east side hot dog stands seems to be popular and I understand as the hot dogs are tasty and not too heavy on the gut. Not the best dogs around but good enough for me and my boys . The guy serving the dogs was nice and tipping doesn't hurt if you like the toppings served heavy .3.5 stars on my yelp meter . read more

Love these dogs!! Love the gentleman who serves them. I live about 17 blocks away and stop at least once a month for my two dog lunch.

Expensive. I knew it was going to be expensive but I hoped the hot dog would have a little bit more sustenance to it. The beef dog is thin and it has a nice crunch when you bite into. The dog has a slight kick to it and overall is tasty. They toast the bun which takes too much time to prepare and I think I would have preferred a fresh soft bun instead of toasted. The condiments and sauces are what differentiate this place but still it is hard to handle $6 for a small hot dog. read more

This review is just for the hot chocolate which was very disappointing. The temperature was tepid. The flavor was ok, but it's hard to tell when such an integral part of the hot chocolate - its hotness - is so far from a reasonable level. Especially disappointed given my expectations being connected to a Jean-Georges restaurant. I had seen the hot chocolate recommended by an instagram influencer so maybe they do it well sometimes & I just went on a bad day?? 2 stars because the server was very nice and the chocolate marshmallow was a unique touch. read more

This hot dog is crafted like fine art and chef Manny, who works at the stand, is a connoisseur. Be warned this is a $6 dog, and it takes about 5 minutes for the hot dog to be built from the bun up, but it is no joke, and well worth the wait. They sell a chicken dog and a beef dog, and their toppings include: kimchi, German cabbage, and sauerkraut - and it's all organic. Unlike your typical street-meat, messy, NYC hot dog, Chef Manny loads the bare potato bun with the toppings first, before placing the dog on top, then comes your choice of condiments: ketchup, mustard, and sriracha mayo. When you work 9-5, and your only options are a couple delis that serve light sandwiches for $11+, and some dirty halal carts, I will gladly take 2 delicious Mark Hot Dogs every chance I get. TL/DR: clean, quality, delicious hot dogs, and the best bang for your buck if you're anywhere near 74-79th along Madison ave read more
