andyscouse Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Here's a MOC I made of the best hotdog place in Western MA! Nick's Nest is located on Northampton St, Holyoke MA, USA. Nick's Nest is famous for its hot dogs, baked beans, popcorn and frappes (milkshakes). Nick Malfas started his business in Northampton MA in 1921 with a popcorn pushcart. In 1927, he opened a restaurant just 50' away from where it is today. This building and interior are from 1948. The hot dogs are still made from the original 1920s recipe combining beef, pork and spices with no fillers. It's one of those places where they put the condiments on the hotdog for you (you're not allowed to do it yourself!), and they have a great selection of fries, beans and sodas. Here it is in real-life, so you can compare: And a view of the interior: Available on MOC-Pages: http://www.moc-pages.com/moc.php/423772 This will also be on show at both the Amherst Railway Show at the Big E Fairgrounds in West Springfield MA Jan 30/31, as well as BrickFair New England in Marlboro MA in May 2016.

TheLegoDr Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Nice representation! It sounds like a good place to visit. We dont have any hotdog places here. Quite sad. Quote
andyscouse Posted January 19, 2016 Author Posted January 19, 2016 Thank you. Yes, it really is a good one. Worth stopping in. Of course, I had to do research for the building, so I stopped by a fair bit for a while! Quote
jhuyser Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Great job. It looks like a very interesting place! Quote
telaruhn Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Love Nick's Nest! Best hot dogs ever! For me, it's very tempting to go there often since my school is close to there... Excellent MOC, you capture the look and feel of the building very well! Quote
Crossbones Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Not fair, now you've made me extremely hungry! Great job, looks like a faithful reproduction of the original. Quote
Actor Builder Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Great job! It looks like a wonderful home for all the LEGO Hot-Dog pieces. Quote

Excellent MOC, you capture the look and feel of the building very well! Yes, my wife and I will sometimes stop by on the way home from work ... Quote
