Default Sad day for NY and lovers of hot dogs....

Gregory Papalexis died today at age 86. He found the pushcart hotdog company, known in New York City, as House o' Weenies. One of his competitors was Sabrett. He formed a larger company and began buying up competitors, including Sabrett.
The closest vendor to The Villages that I have found is a small trailer in the open space on 466 across from Laurel Manor pool. The Sabrett dogs found in supermarkets are not the same as those sold through pushcart vendors.
