It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

- From my guide, updated September 2026.
With so many food vendors in Central Park it’s easy to assume they’re all the same. I’ll let you know in on a local secret. Billy’s Hot Dog Cart on Central Park West and West 93rd Street is worth going out of the way for.
Billy’s customer service is among the best you’ll find anywhere in Manhattan, and the hot dogs are tasty and fairly priced. Don’t forget to ask for onion sauce before taking off to park yourself on a bench in Central Park.
Fun fact. At the time of writing Billy’s Hot Dog Cart is the most highly reviewed street food in New York City. The beloved food vendor has earned his perfect 5 star rating on Google (with nearly 1,000 reviews!).
