Just a short review today.
Ritz Coney Island in downtown Grand Rapids has at least one thing going for it: At $1 per hot dog, it's awfully hard to avoid the place on Mondays. Today, I took a small tour of their menu with a Chicago, Detroit, Grand Rapids and Firehouse dogs. Each featured various toppings came lovingly presented in a plastic basket and cost me a total of $4.
Are the dogs outstanding? Not really. The chili wasn't that great (I prefer Kerby's in Detroit or Yesterdog's runny mess in Eastown), but again..they were A DOLLAR.
They've also plopped themselves right in the middle of Grand Rapids' growing nightlife. By staying open until 3am, they quickly seperate themselves from any other downtown dining options. For that reason alone, I'm predicint a long and prosperous reign on the downtown late-night eating scene.
