If you love long walks on the Coney Island boardwalk, shoving hot dog after hot dog down your throat over at Nathan’s, and flexing on everyone about how you’re a true New Yorker, then boy do we have the ultimate surprise for you–Nathan’s is on the search for the “ultimate New Yorker,” and if you’ve got what they’re looking for you’ll win $1,000 and a year’s worth of Nathan’s Famous franks!
That’s right, Nathan’s is kicking off summer in true New York fashion–with dogs and a bit of friendly competition. And since we loooove to debate what it really means to be a New Yorker, they’re raising the stakes with their Ultimate New Yorker Contest. Their website writes:
As a born and bunned New Yorker ourselves, we’re on the search for other 100% New Yorkers worth spotlighting. The people who represent this great city we’ve called home for over 100 years. There seem to be a lot of fakes out there these days, so we want to highlight the real ones. The ones as real as Nathan’s Famous.
Whether you’re a street performer, cab driver, bodega owner, neighborhood baller, subway rider, or just an every day city dweller, if you’ve ever been called a “true New Yorker”–of which there’s no higher compliment–Nathan’s wants to find you and celebrate you!…
