Crif Dogs, a below-street-level beacon to late-night bar-goers and casual daytime strollers alike, has earned praise for its inventive hot dog menu from New York and named one of America’s Best Hot Dogs by Travel + Leisure. The kitchen's weenie whisperers lay their edible masterpieces in buttered buns, topping them with world-crossing ingredients from chili to pineapple. The classic Crif Dog invites noshers to customize standard or exotic toppings such as baked beans or salsa, while the Jon-Jon Deragon apes the city's favorite carb delivery system with cream cheese, scallions, and everything-bagel seeds. Convince stomachs of franks' morning suitability with a Morning Jersey, wrapped in Taylor ham, laden with melted cheese, and crowned with a fried egg. Alongside the bunned meats, parties can sip on sober libations such as root-beer floats or bubbly brews such as Genesee cream ale.
Crif Dogs' name arose when co-founder Brian Shebairo attempted to call out cofounder Chris Antista's name with a mouth full of hot dog. Announced at street level by a cheeky sausage sign, the original location hosts an English-style phone booth with a single button and both exposed brick and muraled walls. East Village eaters can snarf their precious creation while clustered in Crif Dog's bustling interior or carry their dogs to nearby Tompkins Square Park for alfresco dining and jealousy-inducing based on how close one eats to the dog run or another human.

The Groupon Guide to: Classic Fast-Food Commercials
Television commercials are like a fine wine—they influence people to drive their trucks off-road over a bunch of boulders and they only get better with age. See if you can remember which of your favorite eateries these classic fast-food commercials were advertising:
• Two kids reach for the last slice of pizza. The first kid suggests they split it, but the second would rather go hungry than ruin the beautiful pizza slice. The mom intervenes, rewarding the second kid with the entire slice and punishing the first by making him eat a disgusting salad.
• A teen is sad at first that his parents don't have enough money to buy a hamburger and french fries, but then he is happy because there are combo meals now and they can surely afford one of those.
• A doctor explains all of the vitamins that naturally occur in tacos.
• Popular 1980s comedian Sam Kinison wakes up and screams until a butler delivers a bucket of chicken to his bed.
• Runchly, the roast-beef-sandwich monster, sits on kids until they're not hungry anymore.
