Sparky's

This is Sparky's chili, cheddar cheese, mustard and onion hot dog (larger photo on Flickr).  Sparky's is a new hot dog place in the skinny building on Lafayette at Bleecker.  The all-beef dog itself was delicous (they also have soy dogs).  There was too much of the sharp cheddar and it overwhelmed the little bit of chili.  You can get a very thick milkshake at Sparky's.  I wasn't playing close attention but the making of the milkshake seemed to be very complicated.  The fries looked excellent but I was not that hungry.  I shall return to try the fries and a dog with less cheese -perhaps the chili and coleslaw dog.  I will pay closer attention to the making of the milkshake.  Pavement's "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain" played on the stereo.

After I ordered, but before I sat down, the friendly guy filling the napkin holders shouted out "Look at that!" and pointed outside.   A dozen or more circus clowns were bicycling up Lafayette.

Oo, I'm curious about the thick milkshake. As in, "can hardly suck through a straw" thick? Those are my favorite.

It was really thick. I could suck it through a straw but a spoon would have been just as efficient.

Any place that plays Cr/Cr and serves hot dogs that look that good sounds incredible.

Exactly.
