Nathan's Famous was founded on the corner of Surf and Stillwell in Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY in 1916. We believe that our flagship restaurant has operated continuously, 365 days a year, up until the time that Hurricane Sandy hit. Hurricane Sandy caused significant damage to the Nathan's facility as it did to many of residences and businesses in Coney Island. Nathan's has begun the process or rebuilding....and anticipates reopening this spring, before the summer season, with the same menu and the same Nathan's Famous experience that cusotmer have enjoyed for almost 100 years. Plans are well underway to stage the annual Nathan's Famous 4th of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest, as usual. The contest will be aired on ESPN.
