About this location
Gate D-37 is one of two Nathan's Famous counters in North Terminal, both open the same 7 am-to-9:30 pm stretch — so whichever one sits closer to a given D-concourse gate, the hours won't be the deciding factor. The South Terminal branch, at Gate H-9, opens half an hour earlier and closes an hour and a half sooner, at 8 pm, making the North Terminal pair the later option airport-wide for this brand's hot dogs. Sitting at D-37 rather than further down the concourse puts it near the tail end of North Terminal's gate numbering.
One of 3 Nathan's Famous locations at Miami International Airport (North Terminal, South Terminal).
