What People Are Saying About Gray's Papaya

Gray's Papaya might as well just call itself Gray's Papaya King. They both serve the same dogs, the same drinks (papaya, nonalcoholic pina colada), the've got similar seating plans (stand), the same intoxicating aroma wafts out of open doors, and the same signs boasting, "Our hot dogs are tastier than filet mignon." The bottom line is that Gray's Papaya grills a quality dog, served on a toasted bun with good, spicy mustard.

How is the new price of $4.45, raised from $3.50, a new "recession special" all that special? Used to be I'd go with the wife and we'd both order two dogs and a drink... and I'd often go back for more, but $9.90 hardly makes this a deal in a town where $2 dogs are a dime a dozen. Sure they are great but part of the greatness was the amazing deal... this is no longer the case. I'll be surprised if Gray's Papaya is still around next time I visit the city! Too bad...

My family is from Texas and we visit NYC every now and again for a dose of theater and fun. No trip is complete without a trip to Gray's. This time, we were no where near 72nd street, but made the effort to stop by anyways. Yes, they are only dogs, but oh what wonderful dogs. We kick butt with BBQ in Texas, but no one here can make a good dog for diddley. We missed the Obama sign, and probably stood right behind it while chewing. I didn't vote for him, and I'm scared of what he might do, but my stomach and taste buds don't care about politics. They do know yummy-ness when they eat it.

Seriously the best hot dog ever. So good in fact, a friend had gone to the city just to bring me home hot dogs. We live 1 1/2 hrs away and he went during rush hour!
