Nathan’s Famous is celebrating National Hot Dog Day by offering customers the chance to snag a frank for a nickel Wednesday — the same price diners paid when the first Nathan’s opened in 1916.
The deal is available at participating Nathan’s —including its iconic flagship Coney Island location — from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, with a limit of two $0.05 dogs per order. A regular hot dog usually costs $5.99 at the restaurant.
About seven billion hot dogs are eaten every year between Memorial Day and Labor Day, according to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council.
Earlier this month, Patrick Bertoletti and Miki Sudo won the men’s and women’s contests at the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4.
A number of other stores and eateries are getting in on the fun for the holiday with deals of their own.
