Rhode Islanders know good food and, in some cases, they’re responsible for that good food. Like New York Systems, also commonly known as hot wieners, a hot dog topped with meat sauce, onions, mustard, and celery sauce. You’ll find a few places that grill some downright delicious hot wieners, a scrumptious Rhode Island invention. However, this iconic Rhode Island diner has been drawing locals and celebrities since the 1930s.
With locations in Providence and Cranston, Olneyville New York System bills itself as serving the best hot wieners in Rhode Island. However, you’ll really want to judge for yourself by sinking your teeth into one of their New York Systems.
One bite into a classic hot wiener, and, well, you might think you’re in paradise. You’ll certainly understand why this diner in Rhode Island has gotten plenty of attention over the years and from some pretty big names.
While a hot wiener is sure to fill you up, it always pairs well with such classic sides as fries, chili cheese fries, cheese fries, and onion rings. Or how about an order of sweet potato fries?
