Manhattan's hot dog king in April raised the price of his "recession special" a month ago by 25% to fend off higher rents, beef prices and labor costs. Prior to April 15th, hot dog lovers could buy two Gray Papaya hot dogs and a drink for $1.95 -- but on that day the price for the recession special shot up by 50 cents to $2.45. He blames inflationary pressures. "People say there's no inflation, but I see it everywhere. Paper goods are up, rents are up, labor goes up. In the last month alone my supplier raised my hot dog prices by 12%." When he signed his latest rent renewal at his Midtown store, it called for a 38% increase over 10 years. marketnews.com registration is free. rest of story at link.
