What Rhode Island hot dog is also called a New York System wiener?

The Rhode Island hot dog also called a New York System wiener is the hot wiener.

A hot wiener is a distinctive Rhode Island sausage traditionally made from beef, veal, and pork. It is served in a steamed bun with yellow mustard, chopped onions, celery salt, and a seasoned meat sauce. The combination is regional, so calling it simply a standard hot dog can miss the dish’s local identity.

The name “New York System” appeared in Rhode Island in the early 20th century, when restaurants used New York and Coney Island associations as marketing. By the 1940s, Providence’s Greek-American restaurant community had developed a preparation that was recognizably Rhode Island. The name does not mean the wiener is New York’s standard hot dog.

The history of the oldest New York System restaurant is disputed. Olneyville New York System opened in 1946, while its extended family had operated an earlier Providence shop from 1927; another restaurant has claimed an earlier 1915 date. “Coney dog” is a related regional term, not the canonical answer here.
