Hello Friends of Pit!
The America Issue has been flying out like pancakes at a diner, and we’re so glad you’re enjoying it! If you haven’t grabbed a copy, do it pronto. There are just a few copies left, and some will be available as part of Pit gift bundles for the festive season. More on that soon!
If you’ve already got your copy, you’ll have enjoyed Anna Ansari’s piece on Coney Island’s famous dogs, and you know what? So did we. It made us nostalgic for our sold-out sausage issue and the images of the iconic restaurant that photographer Karen Resta captured so beautifully. We thought her work deserved another look. Enjoy these superb images!
All photos and captions: Karen Resta.
Nathan’s: World-famous frankfurters since 1916.
The Cyclone is a wooden roller coaster built in 1927. It’s a designated landmark of New York City and has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1991.
The classic combo: a hot dog, French fried potatoes and a Brooklyn Lager.

What you see when you enter. Would you really order anything but a hot dog, though?
