Order dogs to go from a small take-out window in this nondescript brick building. For just a few bucks, you can build your own hot dog with whatever toppings are to your liking at a tiny, authentic lunch joint.

For Homemade Toppings:

Cirque d'Alex

Cirque d'Alex dishes up delicious ice cream, flat bread pizzas and specialty hot dogs. Check out their Chicago-style dog on a poppy seed bun, with onions, zesty green relish, tomatoes, sport peppers (hot!), yellow mustard, celery salt and dill pickle spear! Or try the Coney topped with homemade chili or the New York with homemade red onion sauce, heavy on the paprika. For the purist, the Plain Jane with a shot of mustard is perfect, or "build your own."
