Fresh Keg Beer

The removing of Dentergems (a great beer, but our least popular one) will allow us from time to time to take advantage of special seasonal beers (as well as beers on special). We are hoping that the first special beer we get will be a keg of Dog Fish Head Punkin Ale.

This is part of the structure of new menu, designed to let us focus on the four most popular areas of our business: burgers, dogs, fresh keg bee,r & unique specials.

New menu news

The final edits on the new menu have been approved and we expect the new menu to go into effect some time between Xmas and New Years..

Thanks for your loyalty the last 3 years. We hope that you will be as excited by our new menu as we are. The menu has been pared down to the basics, and many of the dishes that have been removed will be back as specials.

Specials are one reason we have pared down the menu. We want to be able to offer more specials, more often; specials are something we have become famous for and we want to build on that tradition while still offering quality burgers and dogs.

Grace Lee

A fun thing about the restaurant business is meeting people. Today I had the pleasure of talking on the phone with filmmaker, Grace Lee, about screening her movie, "The best of the Wurst" at Broome Doggs (250 Broome St.).

We called her because last week she actually stopped by Broome Doggs for a currywurst, as she just happened to be staying in the area.

The Grace Lee Project is currently screening at the Film Forum..

new Menu coming FAST

We have been talking about it for a few months.. Now it's about to happen..

Our new menu is fast approaching. After nearly 3 years with no major price increases and increasing costs of business, it's time to raise our prices and finetune the menu. That means we are focusing more on what had made us famous. Burgers, Dogs, Specials, and of course, Beer.

Many of our plates and other items are being removed from the menu but they will return as specials. For those who know, we like to keep specials around for weeks or months and also to make them a bit seasonal. Ribs and Mac N Cheese in the winter, fresh seafood in the spring and summer.

A major upgrade is our combos will feature a full sized PINT of Schwag! Also, we will just sell beer in pints and pitchers
