I have been eating dogs at Gray's Papaya since I was in JHS. This is was the place to go after an afternoon of shoe shopping on eight street. Two hot dogs with saurkraut and a splash of ketchup, and a papaya juice always hits the spot. Can't beat it for a .50 hot dog.

Someone already said it, but I'll say it again - Gray's Papaya is an NYC institution! The map says it's located at 2090 Broadway, on the uptown side of the city, but keep your eyes open for other Gray's Papaya locations throughout the city. Open late and a deal that's impossible to beat! After a night out drinking with your friends or just wandering around the city, Gray's Papaya is the place to go for cheap hot dogs and drinks, ready to go in seconds! But watch out for the imitators - I believe there's a Papaya Heaven out there, as well as a Papaya Dog. My advice is stick with Gray's.

Ok, this is the ONLY palce that I stand in line for anything. Yes, for $2.00 I will stand in line down the block in the middle of August for 2 hot dogs and a tropical drink from Gray's Papaya. I don't care what anyone says, it's worth it. And if you think I'm nuts, you have never had a gray's papaya. Oh, these are the hot dogs that in the movie "Fools Rush In" Selma Hayek had flown across the country for her husband. No joke.

The prices are amazing. Seriously. The hot dogs are pretty good, but I don't know where everyone gets off saying that the papaya juice is all that good. Maybe I just don't like papaya, but it tastes kinda like bad apple juice. But for about $2.50, I can't remember the exact price, you do get two hot dogs and a glass of their juice, which is inarguably a great deal.

Hungry? In a hurry? On a budget? You cant beat this deal, one of the better deals here in New York. Where else can you hand over a dollar for hot food and still get change back? Think about it! Its about 95cents per beef hot dog and all the fixins' are free! Sauerkraut, onions, and all the mustard and ketchup you will ever need. For about $2.75, gobble down two hot dogs and a papaya juice! It used to be called the recession special. Gray's seems to always be open. Ive been there for breakfast and at 3am for a midnight snack! Gray's forever!!!!!

You can't get a cheaper lunch anywhere. Gray's Papaya has really inexpensive hot dogs, and they taste pretty good too. Don't go here if you are looking for a big selection , it is basically hot dogs. The drinks are average. This is a good place to go if you are on a limited budget and want a quick bite to eat.

Gray's Papaya is a NYC institution and a bargain when it comes to food - just don't spend too much time wondering how it is that a hot dog in Manhattan can be so cheap! The hot dogs here are the perfect blend of juicy inside and crispy outside. They have all the basic NY topics - which is, not much: ketchup, mustard, relish, onions and saurkraut. But that's all a hot dog needs. The drinks here are horrible - they claim to be healthy drinks, but... blech. Stick to the dogs.
