The lowdown
If hot-dog eating is all about context, then there are few better places in the city — maybe the world — to eat an all-beef, natural-casing tube steak than among the flowing summertime hordes at the original Coney Island Nathan’s. And next to MSG, you can’t beat salt air as a flavor enhancer.
