Crosschips NYC Hot Dog Stands

HOLY CHIPS! You head into tourist nation of NYC and you can find a hot dog stand at almost every single corner! The best part is, they are all around $1.00!!! Now, this makes for a certian type of Crosschips that we don't really care for that much, one that involves activities such as walking, standing and leaving the cozy confines of your favorite couch of recliner, but in New York, you don't have many options other than walking.

So, what my cousin and I did was walk to every hot dog stand we saw, ordered a hot dog and continued onto the next one. We would stop in between stands, have a beer at a local bar and keep on trucking. The goal was to reach a high number of hot dog intake until we literally had to find a toilet for the dirty deuce. I made it to 14 hot dogs in what seemed to be a 4 mile walk. Not bad if you ask me.



I know that hot dogs seem to be one of the Crosschips staples, but it is one of the cheapest & easiest items to make and eat for your exercise. So here we go.
TODAYS CROSSCHIPS!!!!
Dogs & Beers; Eat a dog, have a beer, eat a dog, have a beer and continue until you can no longer chew or drink. Should be good for a Friday.

Crosschips NYC Pizza & Burgers?



I found this excellent place on 2nd Ave near 6th I believe. They have an offering of Pizza w/ 1 topping for $5, which is probably the cheapest place to buy Pizza in NYC, ever. But also, opening soon, is a "mini-Burger" shop! Are you kidding me? I've already scheduled a 2nd trip to New York so I can Crosschips accordingly at this location.

So, because I couldn't eat 2, $5 pizzas and scarf down a dozen mini-burgers during this visit, I knocked out 4 pizzas as my Crosschips meal. They aren't your typical "Hot n' Ready" which is a 14" large, it's only about 10" but it's still quite delectable. This location also has tons of toppings, things I've never seen before such as: Eggplant, shrimp, buffalo chicken and broccoli. You can check out their menu here.. I'm not sure why their website doesn't have this location listed yet, maybe it's brand new.

CROSSCHIPS FOR THE DAY!: Eat lots and lots of Pizza. If you go "Hot & Ready" through Little Ceasers, get 2 - 3 pizza's. Make sure you literally break the zipper on your pants before you finish. Good LUCK!

Crosschips NYC ESPN ZONE



So after walking around for 4 hours, we got to Time Square which was full of people. Probably should have waited till night time to check it out for the full effect, I'll do it next time. Anyway, after 4 hours of walking you tend to get tired and hungry and in need of serious libations. We decided to head into the ESPN Zone for some brewdoggers, Crosschips & the air conditioning.



This is a panorama of the bar above, it came out kind of dark but whatever. They had on the LOLions game there, which they ended up winning to continue their 5 straight preseason game winning streak.

The ESPN Zone is of course pricey, but you had to choose wisely in order to get the best Crosschips for your money. We went for the 23 Oz beers & Nachos. Each beer was $10.50, but it was Sam Adams Summer Ale & much better then a 12 oz PBR can for $5 (crap bar on Thursday). I have nothing against PBR, I drink it when I can, but to pay $5 is a sin against all mankind, e-fact. The Nachos were $9.

Here is the Crosschips...(there were more chips in there but I took the picture late.)


We each had 3, 23 oz beers and a plate of Nachos each. DOMINATED IT. Good times.

FRIDAY CROSSCHIPS!!!
Drink over 69(lol)oz of beer and eat a whole bag of tortilla chips & one jar of nacho cheese for your best time. WOO FRIDAY!

Crosschips NYC Seafood



This was on 7th Ave, just north of Time Square at a place called "Maison" (Panorama view above). My Crosschipping cousin insisted that I try out Oysters so I agreed to if he paid ($2.95 per Oyster!?!?) I also enjoyed a Brooklyn Lager which was excellent.



The 1st Oyster was terrible, but after that they were pretty decent. If you aren't a fan, I suggest crab cakes, jumbo shrimp or crab legs as a quick Seafood Crosschips.

Crosschips for the day: Finger Foods, eat 15% of your weights worth.
100 lbs = 15 cheese sticks
150 lbs = 22.5 pieces of shrimp
200 lbs = 30 chicken fingers
etc...

You can of course mix and match, just reach your target!

Crosschips NYC Corner Store


Check this out, because NYC is jam packed full of anything and everything, they have to forgo the common "candy & gum racks" and take everything out of the boxes and pack them together like sardines. I found it to be pretty interesting and very tempting to the everyday Crosschipper. On Friday afternoon I took 3 linear feet of this area and ate it up as my Crosschips.

I suggest you do the same when you visit NYC.

Crosschips NYC Dinner (4th meal)



Notice my excellent camera skills here as I accidentally took a video instead of a picture. Still kind of cool though. This is the Hollywood Diner, it is open 24 hours for your Crosschipping needs. Not sure where it is exactly as we just stumbled upon it during the drunken walk back from a concert in Brooklyn. You get a massive burger, tons of fries, coleslaw & like 8 pickles for $9. Not a bad meal for Crosschips!

Crosschips NYC Breakfast

Check it out. I went to this excellent breakfast location called 7A (At 7th and A ave. in East Village) You got the below breakfast for $5.49. It was probably one of the cheapest meals I had all weekend and it was delicious. I Crosschipped it up and bought seconds of course.



Notice the bad ass Crosschips tee shirt I'm wearing. You can pick yours up at the Crosschips e-store.
