Nathan's Famous Coney Island Brooklyn NYC

Nathan's Famous was opened in 1916 by Nathan Handwerker, a Jewish immigrant from Poland. He and his wife Ida opened the ‪#‎hotdog‬ stand with $300 borrowed from their friends, the entertainers Jimmy Durante and Eddie Cantor. Nathan's became popular in ‪#‎coneyisland‬ due to its low prices, attention grabbing ‪#‎signage‬ and attractive location near the beach and amusement parks. This amazing ‪#‎neonsign‬ was installed around 1960 and was made by the Salzman Sign co. We just can't get enough of that little #hotdog guy with an apron on and a chef hat and holding a ‪#‎camera‬ and a tray of ‪#‎food‬!
