"“Wer'e trying to sort of bring together the nostalgia for our childhood, and our homes, and our backgrounds, and bring it into this new, hopefully fun, creative venue,” Gross says, as the menu draws inspiration from Chicago, Detroit, and New York."
"For dogs, the menu includes a “Coney Island” Detroit-style hot dog with beef chili, onions and mustard, a “NY Classic” with in-house sauerkraut, spicy mustard, and onions, and “Marv's Favorite Dog” for the classic Chicago style with a poppyseed bun with relish, mustard, tomato, onions, pickle, sport peppers, and celery salt, all for $8 to $10."
"Downstairs, Pitts and Gross have installed classic arcade games, including Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, and a Star Wars pinball machine. The space is designed to feel like a retro basement, complete with marble blue and white cushioned booths, posters, and a TV playing music videos."
"And if you're looking for recommendations for wine and hot dog pairings, Pitt explains that “hot dogs go great with beer, go great with soda, go great with wine.”"
Marv's Dogs opened May 13 in Tenleytown, created by Diane Gross and Khalid Pitts from the owners of Cork Wine Bar. The concept honors Gross’s father, Marv, who played games and ate hot dogs every Saturday, turning a childhood memory into a family-friendly venue. The menu features Detroit-style “Coney Island” hot dogs with beef chili, onions, and mustard, a “NY Classic” with in-house sauerkraut, spicy mustard, and onions, and a Chicago-style “Marv’s Favorite Dog” with a poppyseed bun and relish, mustard, tomato, onions, pickle, sport peppers, and celery salt. Prices range from $7 to $10, with veggie and gluten-free options. Sides include fries, chili, and sport peppers, and desserts include soft serve, fudge brownie, and a sprinkle cookie dog. The space includes photos of classic hot dog stands and a downstairs arcade with Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, and a Star Wars pinball machine.
