Holy Hot Dog: Nathan's Will Be Closed Until Spring

Though many of the city's restaurants are back up and running post-Sandy, there are still a number that are struggling to recover, especially in the coastal areas that were the hardest hit. These include some classic NYC institutions like Nathan's - Brooklyn Paper has word that the famous hot dog seller won't be up and running again until Spring. There was extensive water damage at the famous frank shop, which is currently in the process of rebuilding. Frank fanatics can take heart that the folks behind the institution vow to keep the hot-dog-eating competition up and running, and they hope the restaurant itself will be ready for all the face stuffing.
