I was always pretty pleased at the price and quality of hot dogs from NYC street carts (which may say something about my dubious culinary taste), but there's one thing that can beat $1.50 dogs: free ones that aren't served to you out of a bucket of questionable water. Rudy's brings New Yorkers that and so much more in an authentic, gritty dive bar. There's no "rules" for the free dogs, but it's obviously polite to be partaking in alcoholic beverages as well and not over-do it on the food. I came with some hungry friends and they never cut us off though, and the bartender was great about making sure we had our choice of toppings. Along with getting fed for free, Rudy's lets you get drunk for really cheap as a large portion of their beer pitchers are under $10. I liked the Rudy's Blonde at a delicious and economical $7 pitcher, and also because blondes are always better than anything or anyone else. Rudy's motley, lively, and sociable crowd combined with a killer jukebox guarantees loud singing and the perfect dive bar experience. Still not convinced? Get drunk and take pictures with the giant pig, what could be more fun than that?

If heaven were a bar...
123 Burger Shot Beer

First let's just lay out the obvious: the name translates to $1 burger sliders, $2 shots, and $3 beers. And there's no catch. Awesome! Put all of that into what can best be described as a "trendy sportsbar" atmosphere with fun music and I have died and gone to bar heaven. Of course there are restrictions, but for the most part the gimmick rings true and makes for one hella fun (and cheap!) night. Even at a peak time on Saturday night we were able to get a table at which to enjoy our treats. But far from deserted, 123 was still brimming with a lively but breathable crowd. Our waitress was helpful and friendly, and I'm confident enough in my sexuality to admit that she looked damn good in her uniform booty shorts. Yah, 123 has a slight Hooters thing going on in that area, but think more sporty-hot girls next door than blonde silicone bimbos. Come with friends and indulge in glorious $30 beer towers and $45 burger platters to maximize your glutton buck. Or go at them alone, I don't judge.
