Gray's Papaya

[chuckywang]

Any of you been to that place in New York City? How do you like their hot dogs?

 

[noxipoo]

I saw it on a hot dog show, people seemed to love it. I don't really know anyone in NYC to ask, plus i prefer Chicago style

 

[quakefiend420]

nope

++

 

[nageov3t]

been there. didn't like them + thought the place was overrated.

I'm not a big fan of hotdogs, though.

 

[Doggiedog]

Excellent hot dogs. Cheap too.

Excellent hot dogs! Been there many times while in college and will go back.

:thumbsup:

Was a staple of my weekly lunchtime meal during my poor college student days (NYU - went to the one in the Village). It still is a staple of my meals every few months.

My g/f, a fan of Gray's as well, jokingly wants me to propose to her there. (Well, at least I think she's joking... )

Been going there since I Was like 5 or 6 (I'm almost 21 now). Their hot dogs are delicious, and they have interesting drinks to choose from. The recession special is a great deal Good place for a nosh.

Their dogs are so much better than the street vendor crap. Bought a dog from a vendor a little while back and it was gray and I could not tell what it was made of.

LOVE IT! The drinks are fantastic too!

yup-recession special with everything, mustard and ketchup and papaya juice. They did raise the price recently. My bro went to NYU so he would go there, but we went to Sahara East (hookah bar) we usually take a trip to Gray's.

The papaya juice is awesome! Is sahara east the one by the mosque?

 

[blackdogdeek]

[Lola]

this is a dumb question, but last night on a seinfeld rereun, Kramer was saying how he wanted a certain type of hotdog from a special place, is this the place he was talking about?

Gray's is some good cheap eats, good stuff. :thumbsup:

Even more memorable having witnessed a crazy Hayabusa vs. Accord accident when stopping to grab a $2.10 special after stepping out of Fat Beats (the record store a couple doors down on 6th between 8th and 9th). :shocked: There were 'Busa plastics all over the intersection and the rider (looked like he was wearing a waiter's uniform or something) was dazed for a good 15mins but not seriously injured. Accord: 1, 'Busa 0.

But yea, good dogs there.

 

[Qwest]

not 50 cents anymore?

"All you get is 50 cent franks at Papaya's.."

 

[raystorm]

A great hotdog from Nathan's Famous at the original Coney Island is better than any of those nasty, overrated Papaya places. Gray's Papaya juices are a bit watered down too... and who the heck drinks papaya or coconut juice with a hotdog?! eep.. my stomach can't handle that combo. (I just stick to good ol' cola)

 

[whistleclient]

i love gray's papaya.

 

[Toasthead]

been there...it was okay

 

[maziwanka]

they're tasty and cheap. that's all that's needed for hot dogs to be good.

If I wanted a great hotdog I would get a Boar's Head hotdog with natural casing. That is the top of the line when it comes to hotdogs.
