I need some suggestions...

[breakingnews]

NYC is notorious for the nightclub carts. I've dumped plenty of money on those things late at night.

Gray's is also open 24/7, which surprisingly is a huge thing here in the city. It reaffirms my belief that a Waffle House will do very well here (I plan to look into opening one when I have more time to research).

They grill their dogs, but on a flat-top griddle. Literally line 'em up 100 at a time, let it char on one side, then flip and char the other. So effin' good. I've eaten 8 in a single sitting before.

The other popular thing here is "street meat" - like gyros and grilled chicken shish kebab platters and the like. Those carts line every street for 5 blocks near Rockefeller Center, and there are some damn good carts in east Midtown as well. $4 for a huge thing of grill lamb on rice with veggies is a fab lunchtime deal.

In the random idea department, I'd submit that hot dog cart to MTV's Pimp My Ride just to see if you get lucky!

Ohhhh if I had more time I'd be doing some major photoshopping.

Consider doing something funky with the cart - here's some random images:

add a canopy (good on a rainy day) - maybe like a beach cabana
paint firestreaks on it like you would a 67 mustang (muscle car)
add a some funky wheels to it
add some really cool-looking mufflers/exhaust pipes on the bottom sticking out the side
go with a circus theme (circus tent/bright circus colors)
go with a ballpark theme - add penants and team logos

you get the picture - do something wild.

Hollywood Dogs
Dogs on the Run
Moon Dogs
Dog Weiners (ok, skip this one
Reservoir Dogs
Circus Dogs
Grand Slam Dogs
BoonDoggle
Dogs 101 (only need 5 ingredients for over 100 combinations)

just something catchy....

Good luck!

And remember - location, location, location.
