Crif Dogs: Eat Me!

Crif Dogs: Eat Me!, Greenwich Village

 teddy1066 Says:  Once again it is the cunning use of sexual inuendo that made me enter the madness that is Crif Dogs! Located in the East Village, Crif Dogs is a small but cozy hot dog restaurant. Should you tire of the street vendor 'dirty water dogs' I recommend trying a custom made Eat Me...
