- Share via
NEW YORK — It won’t be long before they start yelling “getcha sositskis!” when Nathan’s Famous opens its first hot-dog stand in Moscow’s Red Square.
Nathan’s, which has been peddling its famous red hots since old man Nathan opened his stand in Coney Island in 1916, announced today that it has signed a deal with Moscow officials to start serving the frankfurters.
“Nathan’s hot dogs have been hailed as a most succulent slice of America democracy . . . and we are confident that Muscovite shoppers and tourists will feel that same sensation,” said Chairman of the Board Stuart Benson at a press conference complete with toasts in Russian vodka and lots of hot dogs.
