Gray's Papaya has become a bit of a New York City institution since it began in 1973. Though I'm not a
big hotdog eater myself, this place serves hundreds if not thousands of standard NYC-style hotdogs a
day, along with their namesake papaya drinks and fruit daiquiris.

Though I haven't patronized Gray's Papaya since the mid-1990s, its nice to see that it's still there, doing
the same thing its been doing all along. So much changes so quickly in Manhattan that its nice to see
some classic joints still hanging on despite the current trend of price-outs and major corporate/chain
takeovers.

"Recession special!"
"When you're hungry, broke, or just in a hurry! No gimmicks! No Bull!"
"Let's be frank. We want you to buy our Furters"
"Q: How can you tell a Real New Yorker?
A: By her attachment to Gray's Papaya"
"Strictly Gourmet Hot Dog"

If you ever find yourself at 72nd Street and Broadway on the Upper West Side, drop in to Grey's and let us
know if their dogs are as good as they claim!
