The Scene – The cornucopia of paper fruit decorations dangling overhead lends a festive atmosphere to this tiny New York institution. Groups of loud teenagers, downtown fashionistas, button-downed office workers--all wait patiently as a small troop of red-clad employees work at a feverish pace preparing heaps of frankfurters for the budget-minded masses. Customers wolf down their dogs while standing on the yellow-tiled floor, chatting casually and resting their drinks on a narrow countertop. – – The Food – The menu is perfect for the indecisive, its sole option a…

Fast Enough
by zobak712
If you like hot dogs it's the right place to be, spartan and cheap, sometimes the personel does not ring up a sale and pocket the money which is kind of embarrassing if it happens in front of you.

The best hot dogs in the world!
by sassysweetie1920
Went to Gray's Papaya while visiting NYC on 7/12/08. OMG! The hog dogs were awesome! I had the recession special. Two hot dogs and a drink for $3.50. You can't beat it! The service was very fast. The only issue I have, was that their onions come in some sort of sauce that looks like a salsa. It didn't taste good at all! Other than that. It was terrific! I would highly recommend checking them out!
- Pros: Great hot dogs, great papaya drink, speedy service
- Cons: onion sauce

New York's Best Hot Dog
by huskyduck
You just can't beat the "recession special"-two Gray's dogs with kraut and mustard and your choice of one of their tropical fruity styled drinks. Papaya King's dogs have a "secret" ingredient that Gray's dogs lack but I can't taste the difference and Gray's dogs are substantially cheaper than King's. Too bad the "recession special" is not offered at Yankee Stadium or Shea Stadium. 24/7 hours does not hurt either. This is often the first place former New Yorkers head to when coming back home to visit. A great New York institution.
- Pros: Recession Special-2 Gray's dogs with choice of tropical drink

This is always the first place that I want to go when I am in New York visiting family. I wish it was on the west coast.
- Pros: delicious, cheap
- Cons: no seating
