From our old fashioned juke box to our historic wooden booths, it's a place you have to experience in person. Coney Island has been serving its delicious hot dogs for generations to generations every day, but Tuesday, since Catherine and George Tsagarelis opened in 1918. There has been a lunch counter at the Southbridge Street location since 1918 but Catherine and George made it the landmark it is today. After buying the business, they quickly focused on the humble wiener as their main menu item. In 1938 they renovated the restaurant in the utilitarian art deco style that it boasts today. The cost of one hot dog today would have fed a couple of hungry families in 1918 when the wieners were a nickel each.
