For the best Coney Island hot dog outside of — well, Coney Island — visit the one-of-a-kind Coney Island Boardwalk in Bailey, Colorado.
Built in 1966, Coney Island Hot Dog is a 1950's-style diner that is unforgettable for its tasty dogs and its hot dog-shaped building and one-of-a-kind ambiance.
Originally located along Colfax Avenue in Denver, the Coney Island Boardwalk has seen a number of different homes through the years, including Aspen Park (1970 to 2006) and, most recently, Bailey.
