Hot wieners · Providence
Rhode Island's hot wiener is a small steamed-bun frankfurter topped with yellow mustard, finely diced raw onion, a thin spiced meat sauce.
Greek immigrant Anthony Stevens and his son Nicholas left Brooklyn for Providence in the 1930s and opened Olneyville New York System at 8 Olneyville Square in 1946. They moved to the present 18 Plainfield Street address in 1953. The buttered-bun-steamer-line technique and the celery-salt-on-everything finish became the canonical Providence late-night feed. The James Beard Foundation gave Olneyville New York System an America's Classics Award in 2014. The brand was sold to Heritage Restaurant Group in February 2025, with the menu and staff intact.
