    The train is cool and you get arguably the best hotdogs you'll ever taste (Although I know a few places in New York that may disagree) - You just have to go here. YOU HAVE TO!

    This classic Sunset Strip eatery lives in a repurposed rail car, the ideal viewing perch to observe the streets below. The chili cheese dog is superior to Pink's and the ambiance can't be beat. Read more

    A pretty good hot dog! Grilled or steamed, crackly-skinned, bursting with a splash of garlicky juice & slender but considerable! Situated in two ancient Union Pacific cars & great for people watching! Read more

    I'm not on board (see what I did there?) with the food. However, sitting outside with a burger and beer on a nice day during happy hour is good stuff. Bonussauce: free parking in the back.
