Best cheap hot dogs

New York Hotdog and Coffee
We love the fusiony bulgogi frank ($5.99) at this Korean import; the sweetly marinated beef crowns a snappy tube steak, lettuce and pickles. 245 Bleecker St at Leroy St (917-388-2608)

Shake Shack
Instead of a burger, opt for the Shack-cago Dog ($4.25). The plump Vienna beef frank is placed on a poppy bun with cucumber, onion, tomato, celery salt and relish from local outfit Rick’s Picks. Madison Square Park, 23rd St at Madison Ave (212-889-6600, shakeshack.com) • 366 Columbus Ave at 77th St (646-747-8007)

Elettaria
This classed-up corn dog ($4.50) is a zippily seasoned pork-shoulder-and-beef-brisket cylinder coated in Anson Mills cornmeal, then deep fried. 33 W 8th St between Fifth and Sixth Aves (212-677-3833, elettarianyc.com)

Willie’s Dawgs
Willie’s marvelous Murray frankfurter is a beef link planted on a challah roll, then covered with avocado, smashed pinto beans, onions, tomato, jalapeños and mayo ($5). 351 Fifth Ave between 4th and 5th Sts, Park Slope, Brooklyn (718-832-2941, williesdawgs.com)

Katz’s Delicatessen
These all-beef wieners ($3.10) swell and crisp till taut on a well-seasoned grill, requiring little more than a mustard smear. 205 E Houston St at Ludlow St (212-254-2246, katzdeli.com)—Joshua M. Bernstein
