MELBOURNE, ARE YOU HUNGRY? Enjoy New York-style hot dogs, served by legendary Times Square street food vendor Johnny G - completely free!

To celebrate the launch of Travel Booking via the CommBank app, weʼre bringing a slice of New York to Melbourne with a unique walk-through experience. ​

What: Walk-in NYC ​
When: Fri 28 Feb & Sat 1 March, 12pm–8pm / Sun 2 March, 9am-2pm ​
Where: 524 Flinders Street, Melbourne

Looks interesting albeit out of the way on Flinders. Free is free but while I'm no hot dog connoisseur, John's Hot Dogs is definitely not the best NY hot dog. Gray's Papaya is my pick at a reasonable price.

    Actually, NYC has strict food regulations and are required to have a food grade (A, B, C etc.) displayed on the window on all food businesses. Not sure about Australia but Victoria leaves it up to the councils and you only hear about issues if they repeatedly fail food inspections and are convicted.

  I’ve not been to NYC. What’s their style of hot dogs? Just a sausage, bun and sauces?

    Pretty much the same. Sauerkraut or relish is a common topping similar to what you get at Costco here.

  It's funny, because most things food related in America are oversized, except for the NY hot dogs.
  Had some from a couple of street vendors and at the baseball… TINY, close to half the size of what we'd have here.
  I thought it was pretty good value for $1 or so. Until I realised I had to buy 4 of them!!! 🤣

  I went around 1:30pm. I don't think many people know yet, so I wouldn't say there were that many people. I think I joined the hot dog line while staff were waiting for some sort of food prep as the line didn't really move much for about 10 minutes, but I got my hot dog in about 15 minutes. Was a good hot dog for free.

  Fun mini event, photo ops and mini hotdog. The vegan one was tofu like, idk how to feel.

  We're waiting in line and they just ran out of buns so now they've offered us to have "naked hotdogs", will update after if it's worth it.

    Forgot to update earlier: by the time we got in there were buns again and the hot dogs were pretty good, but nothing you haven't had before. Worth lining up if you want free food but wouldn't have done it for even $1.
