One of the things that I miss about New York that doesn’t exist in Akron is “Street Meat”. Get your minds out of the gutters, kids…I’m talking hot dogs and other delicacies found at umbrella-ed stands with wheels. In NY, you have hot dogs, falafel, gyros, flavored ices, roasted nuts, and one of my favorites, kabobs. Here? You have to go inside to get food…. that is until last month when Davey’s Dog House came to the rescue. Parking his cart in Highland Square (really the only place to be), Davey serves dogs about 12 hours/day, from 11am-11pm. Pricing is $2/one dog, or 3/$5- a pretty great price. So far business has been great, they’ve sold out every single day. But now Davey would like to change city law that only allows street vendors outside of downtown to be open until 11pm. Click here to read about the issue in the ABJ. As a resident of Highland Square (and patron of its nightlife), I think hot dogs till 3am can only improve the area. Here’s hoping it passes. Until then, make sure you check out Davey & his great hot dogs daily before 11pm.
