The New York Hot Dog King
Dan Rossi is The New York Hot Dog King. He has been building pushcarts for the last 40+ years and has been selling hot dogs in front of The Met for the last 16 years. Dan is a disabled veteran: he served two tours in The Vietnam War as a United States Marine. Dan prides himself on the cleanliness of his cart and the quality food that he provides to his customers.
Family Owned Business
This business is veteran-owned and family-owned. Dan and his wife, Angela, have four daughters and 14 grandchildren. Their third daughter, Elizabeth, is also a Marine veteran; she owns a food cart right alongside her father in front of The Met. Dan builds all of their carts!
Helping Veterans
Since the 1970’s, this business has employed veterans. We also employ non-veterans. Our goal is to always support veterans and veteran events in the NYC area.
