The friendly neighborhood cooks at Joe's Place whip up juicy hot dogs with fresh-cut fries and made-to-order Italian specialties with high-quality ingredients. The hot-dog stand sits in a welcoming residential area, serving up a menu of classics such as a hot dog and fries ($2.65) or a tummy-stretching double chili dog with fries ($4.35). Generations-old authentic Italian recipes shape classics such as the chicken-parmesan sandwich ($4) and the italian beef ($4.55). Milk shakes and gelato (both $1.50–$7) cool off tongues overexcited from warm, stimulating cappuccinos ($2.20/small).

The catering crew at Joe's Place sends pans of piping hot Italian cuisine rocketing towards end-of-year banquets, graduation celebrations, and moon-bounce parties. Choose from a variety of pastas and raviolis in half-pan (serves 10–15, $28–$35) or full-pan (serves 25–30, $55–$65) sizes, or pick vegetable giambota stew with chicken, steak, or sausage in half or full pans ($36–$65). Crunchy, chlorophyll-laden salads—also available in half- or full-pan sizes—add a delicate touch to otherwise rich and hearty samplings ($22–$55). For hosts left agog by all the options, party specials preselect ideal menus of crowd-pleasing pans, including Special No. 5, featuring enough italian beef, pasta, salad, bread, sweet peppers, and hot giardinieras to feed up to 25 average-sized humans or 50 elves cobbling on overtime duty ($165).
