One of the greatest untold stories in American history has been hiding in plain sight.

Before Nathan’s, there was Charles Feltman—the man who created the hot dog and built the largest restaurant in the world. His extraordinary story has been almost forgotten.

Join me for Feltman: World’s First Hot Dog, my acclaimed one-man play that is inspiring, moving, and often amusing. You’ll leave seeing New York—and the hot dog—in a completely different way.

Only TWO New York City performances this Wednesday, July 29
📍 The Chain Theatre – 312 W. 36th St., Manhattan
🕠 5:30 PM & 7:30 PM

Then catch the show in The Hamptons at LTV Studios in Wainscott on Friday, July 31.

Back next week—Feltman: World’s First Hot Dog returns to NYC before I take it on the road later this year.

It’s a one-man play telling the true story of how an immigrant in Coney Island created what became the American hot dog—with me playing every character along the way.

Use code HotDog for $5 off each ticket.
