102 years old. The oldest, real-est hot dog stand in the Berkshires. Sometimes appears on top-ten lists. Their hot dogs are made for them by a butcher in Springfield, their fries are the best I've ever had. If you want the real North Adams, this is it. Chili cheese dogs and fries, x 2 comes in under $8 - so bad for you and so, so good. Lots of local folklore around this one and hand made, real food, real folks, real North Adams.
