History

Established by Paul and Betty Pink with a modest hot dog cart in 1939, Pink's Hot Dogs has evolved into a beloved institution over the decades. Originally a loan of $50 was enough to start a business that now serves up to 2,000 hot dogs a day, with a long-standing reputation for quality and tradition.

Quick tip: Visit during weekday mornings or late evenings to avoid peak lunch and dinner crowds.
