What People Are Saying About Gray's Papaya - Downtown
The Editor

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…

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
