Well, for us, summer is over...

We are still a bit slow from people being on vacation, and many of our plans for the summer didn't come through (including our road trip...), but the Beach got built, and we have been doing a bunch of catering lately and things are generally fairly well..

Our friend Paul is getting ready to leave NYC in favor of a few months in the north country and then a few more in China..

And there are many good things afoot..

Thanks George

Schnack staff and owners want to thank George Motz for stopping by Schnack along with the camera crew from UPN Channel 9 (WWOR) to promote his hamburger class @ NYU.

Soon, more Schnack

more Schnack coming soon!

summer time

Summer is going well at Schnack. We hope everyone is enjoying theirs as much as we are. Some really big news is coming soon.. But the best news so far is that Water Taxi Beach is doing really well.

Looking for Fun? Lots of sand? Great views and some tropical drinks? Burgers and Dogs? Then you need to find your way to Water Taxi Beach! (www.watertaxibeach.com/)  

Harry LIC Bar & Grill at sundown; please come visit us next Friday, Saturday, or Sunday at Water Taxi Beach www.watertaxibeach.com

1. Mamoun's Falafel

A hidden hall in Le Parker Meridien's lobby transports New Yorkers to hamburger heaven.

This all-American food orgy catered by Schnäck’s Harry Hawk promises an all-you-can-eat cookout fit for a Japanese hot-dog-eating champ (burgers, RC Cola ribs, corn on the cob, grilled tuna, beer shakes, full bar), a perfect view of the Macy’s Fourth of July fireworks with the Manhattan skyline in the background, and a ride on a NY Water Taxi. Who says summer in the city sucks? $110, includes water-taxi transportation.

Write up.. again

Here is a nice bit of prose from the editors at citisearch...

Listing a few places for cheap eats or a few places to take a date on the cheap or perhaps a place or two to take a cheap date...

About Schnack, they wrote, "Too grown-up to go out for a milk shake? Ask for two straws and order up this neighbohood joint's beer float."

Contest pictures

Some pictures from our contest..
1st place winner still hungry (note the dog being handed to him!)

Here is Boro Pres Marty and Chef Harry

The media showed up (which was great!)

and we had 5 super eaters...

and a great crowd to both watch and to eat free stahl-meyer hot dogs!

We have a Winner

We have a winner for our dog contest.. His name is Joe and he ate the dog (and bun) in 1 minute and 30 seconds. Afterwards, he had room for a few more regular Stahl-Meyers.

Joe is a regular competive eater, but he doesn't earn his living that way... but as we said all are welcome to our contest as long as they follow the rules, which Joe did. He enjoyed his dog with Brooklyn Water and JEVER Pilsner.

Pics to come.

Nice Review

Thanks to "A Hamburger Today" for this great review



"...Schnäck brings back fond memories. My first tiny burger experience occurred here only two years ago. From that point on, I was changed. I could no longer live in a regular-sized burger world..."

Our Dog Contest

Our hot dog contest will be at 1pm on Memorial Day @ Schnack (122 Union St., Brooklyn). -- PLEASE Sign up - Call 718 855 2879

We are having open heats for those who wish to enter on May 21 and 22nd @ 3pm, 4pm and 10pm...

While our single 30 inch custom made in NYC dog is rather LARGE, you have to consider that at the "professional" eating contests they regularly eat 20 times the amount of dogs.. so imagine one dog 600 inches... and THEY don't even chew!!

This is this Schnack still life; burgers, pickles, fries, rings, Coke (now serving RC Cola), and a hand dipped chocolate milk shake! 

These are our famous onion rings
