MARV’S DOGS

4936 Wisconsin Avenue NW 

Marv’s Dogs, the long-awaited new concept from Cork Wine Bar owners Diane Gross and Khalid Pitts, has officially opened in Tenleytown. The nostalgia-driven hot dog shop is inspired by Diane Gross’ childhood memories of getting hot dogs with her father, Marv. The restaurant’s signature “Marv’s Favorite” pays tribute to those experiences with a classic Chicago-style hot dog topped with secret relish, onions, pickle, peppers, and celery salt on a potato poppyseed bun. The menu also reflects Pitts’ Detroit roots with the “Coney Island,” a Detroit-style dog topped for a limited time with Ben’s famous beef chili sauce onions, and mustard. Additional menu offerings include the NY Classic, Diane’s favorite MOPDOG, a veggie dog, skinny French fries, and desserts. Marv’s Dogs features seating for 35 guests inside plus additional patio seating.  The space features a fun downstairs space complete with arcade games, further leaning into the throwback spirit behind the concept. Marv’s Dogs will also offer beer, wine, seltzers, and a variety of cool canned soft drinks to complement the menu.
