We’re happy to kick off the new year with a visit to a new Pittsburgh establishment. Opening very soon – as in a few hours – is the newest outpost of Pittsburgh most local hot dog shop – Franktuary. 8 years ago Franktuary opened in the basement of a church downtown. This week – Franktuary opens their second location in Lawrenceville. The owners have been referring to the opening of the Lawrenceville location as “The Second Coming” – you can see lots more tweets and photos of the build out on Twitter with the #PrepareYeForTheSecondComing

Here are a few photos of the new Franktuary…

We were honored to be invited to get a sneak peak at the new place during earlier this week.

In addition to franks, the new Franktuary has a bar with cocktails, draft beer and draft kombucha.

First kombucha ever on tap in Pennsylvania! twitter.com/Franktuary/sta… — Franktuary (@Franktuary) January 2, 2013

The new menu has hot dogs (of course), fries, meatballs and lots more. Friend of IheartPGH was so hungry the food was devoured before this blogger could snap a photo. You’ll have to stop by and see the food for yourself.
