We’re officially in the dog days of summer, so I thought I’d do a post about Walter’s, a most peculiar hot dog stand in Mamaroneck, New York. Established in 1919 by a man named Walter Warrington, the copper-roofed Chinese pagoda was built in 1928 and has sold the original product and been owned and operated by the Warrington family ever since. The design of Walter’s evolved as a direct response to the coming of the automobile by creating an eye-catching design that would lure car traffic. It was designated a historic landmark by the Westchester County Historical Society in 1991.
