(5 out of 5 hot dogs)
Loading ...Doghouse Saloon
152 Orchard (Rivington and Stanton)
Time: All the time
Price: Seriously awesome drink specials, free hotdogs
Beer chugging contests, skanky hoes, projectile vomiting. Oh, the memories…. People say you can’t go back to college. But they’d be WRONG. You totally can! Just stop by the Doghouse Saloon for crazy drink specials any night of the week. I went with some friends on a blistery Tuesday evening, to find an empty bar just begging for debauchery. The specials were this: $1 PBR, $3 Stoli drinks and $5 Jager bombs. Because of an unfortunate gin and red bull experience, I had to abstain from the Jager bombs, but in the spirit of bombing things, I asked the bartender how much for an Irish Car Bomb, and he said “I don’t know…$6?” Whaaat?? You can’t even get just the Guinness for $6. And this is only the beginning of the awesomeness of this bar. You can buy pitchers and play a friendly game of beer pong or flip cup at the table out in front. There is a pool table and skeeball upstairs. There are baskets of potato chips and pretzels everywhere. AND they give away free hotdogs. The part of my brain that tells me to never eat hotdogs had a battle with the part of my brain that tells me never to turn down free food, and lost big time. I woke up at 8 am the next day reeking of Nattie ice, with the taste of processed meat and Baily’s curdling in my mouth, and dragged myself to work. Did I have any regrets? Maybe. Would I make the same mistake again? Absolutely! Isn’t that what College being an adult in NYC is all about?

One dollar, one slice? Say whaaaaaat? While there is nothing gourmet or unique about this pizza, it has all the essential components (dough, sauce, cheese, grease.) Fresh pizzas fly out of the oven faster then you can say ‘WhatcanIgetforadollar.’ The line is long, but it moves quickly, so there’s no time for the pies to dry out under the heat-lamps and become infected with air-born pathogens. Take it to go, or have a seat and mingle with the homeless (no offense to my homeless readers), but whichever way you look at it, this is the best bang for your buck. I give major props to the owners for opening a location kitty-corner to their biggest competitor ‘99 Cents Fresh Pizza’ on 41st, who recently added the tagline “1.07 including tax.” I’d rather pay $2, and slough the .93 for convenience. You make me sick, ‘99 Cents Fresh Pizza,’ we’re through! Don’t even bother texting me, you cheap false advertising pizza hoe!
