Several years ago, John decided that the Connecticut grandchildren needed to experience Walter's Hot Dogs in Mamaroneck, NY. Walter's is a pagoda shaped building built in the 1920's that sells hot dogs, fries and various drinks. That's all. And, it's takeout.So, we go to Walter's and stand in a line in the rain, snow and wind to get ...a hot dog. We are not alone in this - every year we meet people in the line from out of town who grew up going to Walter's and are home for a visit. As a matter of fact, the man who looked at our crowd and begged to be allowed to go ahead of us had to pay for the priviledge by taking our picture. Our group has grown from the original four to a crowd of (this year) twelve, who are now considering a trip to Walter's the day after Christmas to be part of the family tradition.
To eat hot dogs.
