The going price for a hot dog in New York is now $69

I’ve always looked at New York City like I see Lucky Strike Lanes. It’s a reverse ATM. I figure everything is going to cost me a twenty. And if it doesn’t, I’m pleasantly surprised when I come back with a few singles.

It looks like I’m going to have to revise my estimates and the amount of cash I’m carrying in my wallet. Serendipity 3 has created a buzz in Manhattan with the introduction of its $69 “haute dog.” The publicity stunt/culinary feat earned the New York eatery a Guinness World Record for most expensive hot dog last Friday on what was, appropriately, National Hot Dog Day.
