At Sparky's, the quality of the all-natural, locally made hot dog is matched by the quality of the toppings. Choose your own or try one of the thirteen combinations, like home-made relish, hot cherry peppers, pickle, tomato, and celery salt (No. 6), a worthy tribute to the Chicago-style dog; classic sauerkraut and mustard (No. 10); and our favorite, "buffalo wing" sauce and blue-cheese dressing with a dash of celery salt (No. 7), one of those inspired all-American pairings like fried chicken and waffles—pure fast-food fusion genius. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

I thought their hot dogs were some of the best I've had in NYC, unquestionably. The buns they use are delicious and I'd eat them on their own, but the hot dogs and the variety of ways they're offered are really quite spectacular. The hot dogs are juicy and flavorful, and my favorite is the buffalo wing dog, which is topped with wing sauce and blue cheese -- it's absolutely delicilous! Plus they have whole pickles from Gus's (or somewhere that tastes exactly like Gus's). It's a casual, laid-back spot, and for a quick bite that's delicious and inexpensive, Sparky's is my new favorite!

Absolutely repulsive

You've been warned. Grab a bag of Dorito's instead. Awful ingredients (despite what they brag about). Negligent service. Named very appropriately. I would only let my dog eat here.
