New York Town Dedicates A Whole Month To Michigan Coneys
The town of Plattsburgh, New York celebrates 'Michigan Month' the entire month of July. The celebration honors a Michigan food tradition, coney dogs.

Luckily for Michiganders, we don't have to travel as far as New York to enjoy a delicious coney dog, you can find one practically anywhere in the Great Lakes State. If you do want to travel to Plattsburgh to see how they make a 'Michigan' - yes, that is what they call a coney, you have until the end of July to do so.
Michigan Month encourages patrons to visit the following four participating businesses to enjoy a Michigan,
- McSweeney's
- Clare and Carls
- Gus's Red Hots
- Ronnie's
Guests are encouraged to get their Michigan Month Passport stamped at all four spots. The town also holds a Michigan Month T-shirt design contest and a Michigan Mile Fun Run (fun and run - two words I never use in a sentence) and a 5K race too.
The 'Michigan' sounds close enough to me to be a Michigan coney, but for any doubters, the description is as follows according to Food & Wine (and Syracuse.com)
'A steamed hot dog covered in a meat sauce and topped with chopped raw onions and a stripe or two of yellow mustard [which] can be worn on top of the meat sauce or buried beneath. with a sauce that is thicker than most meat sauces but not as thick as chili'.
As I said, it sounds like a coney dog to me. I think this is awesome. Anyone up for a road trip to Plattsburgh, New York to grab a coney?
