The Chipper truck is a late night favorite for those out for a night on the town in the Woodlawn section of the Bronx. For those unfamiliar with the neighborhood, Katonah Avenue is a street in the Bronx lined with Irish pubs and shops. While late night bar-goers have the options of pizza or Chinese food, the Chipper trucks offers a tasty alternative for a quick bite (and not to mention is open all night!) Serving up traditional Irish and American fare, this little truck is a delight for those in the heavily Irish-populated Woodlawn area. And in case you’re iffy on the matter, the lines forming down the street are a sure sign of a good thing! Examples of some of the food you can get are beer-battered burgers and cheese burgers, fries, curry fries, taco fries, Irish chips, gyros, kebobs, Philly cheese steak, mozzarella sticks, fish and chips, even traditional a Irish boxty (potato pancake)….if you can think of it, Chipper’s got it! So if you’re looking for a late-night (delicious) snack, the Chipper’s the place to be!
• Craig’s – Yonkers, NY

Favorites: Hot dog with chili and cheese, hot dog with sauerkraut and mustard.
Price Range: Inexpensive
Hours: 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Location: Bronx River Road/Midland Avenue, Yonkers
Craig’s hot dogs have been a staple food and personal favorite since childhood. Located on the Yonkers/Bronxville border, Craig’s keeps it simple serving up Sabrett hot dogs, your traditional “dirty water dogs.” And while it may be the typical New York dog, one from Craig’s just seems to be more delicious than all the rest. The truck is owned and operated by a lovely couple who are not only quick and efficient, but two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Every day – especially during the peak lunch-time hours – the street is filled with neighbors, business men and women on lunch break and, especially, little kids on their way home from school (most often children and families from St. Joes in Bronxville – of which I myself am an alumni.) As a child nothing would brighten my day more than enjoying a yummy hot dog from Craig’s on my way home from school, and I can safely say that that hasn’t changed! In addition to hot dogs you can also get sausage and potato knishes. Bachman’s are the choice of potato chips (and a good choice at that!) and the soda is always ice cold and refreshing! And if all that wasn’t enticing enough, the prices are fantastic! The hot dogs are so delicious and go down so smoothly don’t be surprise if you find yourself ordering two or three, or maybe even more! And with their prices, ordering a lot isn’t a problem! If you’re in the neighborhood don’t be deceived by Craig’s simple appearance, stop on by and enjoy a good ole dirty water dog – you won’t regret it!
