Just in time for National Hot Dog Day on July 16, Nathan’s Famous has teamed up with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to spotlight a delicious detail of NYC’s newly redesigned subway map: the N, F and Q lines all converge at Coney Island, the birthplace of Nathan's. From July 14 to August 10, the “Follow the (F)rank Line” will be guiding New Yorkers and hot dog fans straight to Nathan’s historic flagship location via eye-catching subway takeovers, digital displays and social content—quite literally putting hot dogs on the map. Smithfield Foods has a license agreement with Nathan’s Famous for the exclusive right to manufacture, distribute, market and sell “Nathan’s Famous” branded hot dogs and sausages in refrigerated consumer packages to be resold through retail channels within the U.S.
