Gramercy Communications will host a tasting event featuring five Capital Region providers of mini hot dogs to celebrate Wednesday (7/19) as National Hot Dog Day.

From 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Troy Innovation Garage, 24 Fourth St. in Troy, attendees may sample dogs from Gus’s Hot Dogs in Watervliet, Hot Dog Charlie’s in Troy, Country Drive Inn in Clifton Park, Jack’s Drive In in Wynantskill and Famous Lunch in Troy. A donation of $5 is requested, and proceeds will benefit the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York.

This event was conceived and coordinated by Gramercy’s 2017 summer interns as part of the program’s community-service requirement.
