Bernie Sanders continued his relentless campaign for the New York Democratic Primary vote Sunday with a rally on the Coney Island boardwalk followed by a stop at Nathan's Famous for—what else?—a hotdog. Following a busy weekend filled with a trip to the Brooklyn waterfront, a stop at the Apollo theater, and Hamilton, the latest stop simply proves that the Democratic hopeful and Brooklyn native has totally nailed this whole modern New York City tourist thing.

“This is a breaking story,” Sanders said as he stepped up to the counter at Nathan's. The Times has the scoop on how he takes his hotdog: “Mustard and sauerkraut.”. Sanders's wife reportedly asked for "ketchup and some onions." Video of the couple's visit to Nathan's depicts a wild scene in which other customers crowd the candidate's Secret Service detail, shouting "We love you Bernie!"

Photos tweeted from the scene reveal that R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe also joined in on the meal. Stipe introduced Sanders before he took the podium during the Coney Island rally, and praised the Vermont Senator for, among many things, voting against the 2001 Patriot Act. "He took the measured, reasoned, and responsible approach that has kept him on the right side of history at virtually every turn since he has been in the public eye."

"Bernie Sanders walks the walk and talks the talk when it comes to fairness," Stipe continued. "Over the years of traveling across the United States and outside of America with my former band, I have discovered within myself an underlying but potent appreciation of justice and common decency. I seek out leaders who represent themselves honestly and fairly, and who share the same appreciation of justice."

During his own speech, Sanders reminisced about swimming at Coney Island and joked "I think I've eaten half the hotdogs that Nathan's produced" before launching into an extended, hour-long version of his stump speech, calling for campaign finance reform, increased environmental protections, free education, and a single-payer health care system for all Americans. Sanders's campaign also released a new local ad Sunday, in which the Senator re-asserts his Brooklyn roots and commitment to "Values forged in New York." Watch it below.

New polls show Sanders trailing Clinton by a 53-37 margin in New York among likely Democratic primary voters. "Sanders has a lot of work to do if he's going to make this race a close one," Democratic pollster Chris Anderson said Sunday. "He’s currently losing among every demographic group with the exception of men and voters under age 45. Many more middle-age New Yorkers are going to have to feel the Bern for Sanders to have a chance of catching Clinton."
