00:00Take me out for some hot dogs.

00:04Simply having a wonderful Christmas time.

00:09Simply having a wonderful Christmas time.

00:12Yes, the mood is light.

00:14It's time to go

00:16and find a place

00:18to go raw dogging.

00:20Yes, simply having a wonderful Christmas time.

00:23Yes, it's Christmas time again

00:26and I'm coming here to a place that

00:28has a hot dog though.

00:30It's not really known for its hot dogs.

00:32It's known for its classic egg creams

00:34and the old-fashioned soda jerks.

00:38It's been here 100 years

00:40starting in 1925.

00:44It's going to be 100 years old

00:46and every time he comes to New York,

00:48Paul McCartney stops here.

00:50They've shot movies here.

00:52It's an iconic space on the Upper East Side.

00:54It's time to go raw dogging.

00:56We're going to be raw dogging

00:58at the Lexington Candy Shop.

01:00Let's go.

01:26It's time to go raw dogging.

01:56All right.

02:06All right, here we go.

02:08The hot dog

02:10kind of looks like an average dog

02:12if you ask me.

02:14It's grilled.

02:16The bun,

02:18the dog ratio is okay

02:20but the bun feels a little stiff to me.

02:24Let's give this a try.

02:36I would say this is

02:38a pretty average hot dog

02:40but you come here not for the hot dog.

02:42You come here for the ambiance.

02:44Let's give these fries a little try.

02:54I'll give the fries

02:58a solid 7.8.

03:00And then you've got

03:02the old-fashioned,

03:04the way they used to make it,

03:06soda.

03:14You know,

03:16you still need this for lunch.

03:18It's a time machine.

03:20I'm going to give this soda, this Coke,

03:22an 8.8.

03:24And you know,

03:26this holiday season,

03:28I'm not going to forget

03:30my Jewish friends.

03:32One thing that's been

03:34popular in New York

03:36is the egg cream.

03:38Now despite the name egg cream,

03:40there are no eggs nor cream in here.

03:42It's simply milk,

03:44chocolate syrup,

03:46and it's got a seltzer,

03:48like the soda water.

03:50It's a dying breed.

03:52This is a very popular

03:54turn-of-the-century drink, especially among the

03:56Yiddish community in New York.

03:58And it's still popular here

04:00at the Lexington Candy Shop.

04:02And this is the egg cream,

04:04chocolate egg cream.

04:06You can get several types,

04:08but this is the chocolate egg cream.

04:12It tastes like a yuhu,

04:14but much better.

04:16I'm going to give this

04:18I'm going to give this

04:20an 8.9.

04:22I mean,

04:24if you want to go for egg cream,

04:26this is probably the spot to be.

04:28Egg creams are well known as the best.

04:32Yes, another

04:34holiday is upon us.

04:36So, Merry Christmas.

04:40Looking forward to another year of raw dogging.

04:42Happy holidays.

04:44Happy holidays.

04:46And if you know any place I should be in 2025,

04:48let me know.

04:50Email me. DM me.

04:52Text me. Whatever.

04:54Tell me where I should go next.

04:56Yes, I'm not stopping raw dogging.

04:58I'm raw dogging

05:00next year, the year after that,

05:02and the year after that, and far beyond.

05:04So, I'll see you down the road.

05:06Merry Christmas.

05:08And have a happy new year.

05:10As I drove out of sight,

05:12keep raw dogging.

05:14Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

05:18Take me out

05:20for some hot dogs.

05:22Get me one

05:24that's only plain.

05:26No mustard or ketchup.

05:28I'll know what

05:30the dog is really about.

05:32And it's hope that

05:34this is a good one.

05:36Maybe a home run

05:38or a double.

05:40If it sucks, it will be a strike.

05:42Got it not.

05:44Rody of my taste buds.
