Mitchell,

For six years we had a small franchised restaurant in the Mall, not Nathan's Famous brand, but it was owned by Nathan;s, so we were selling their products as well. I loved nathan's hot dogs, they are really the best, but 68? It is insane

have a happy 4th of July, and enjoy the fireworks on East River
