Gray's Papaya

Excellent hot dogs. The variety is very wide and allows combining several flavors, the place is not very clean, but being a place of passage in general this is normal. The attention is fast, and it is not very dedicated, but rather they are dedicated to dispatching the orders and a little the client has to figure out how to order

I chose Grey's Papaya for a taste of New York hot dogs. Cheese and onions - a perfect combination. However, exceptionally for drinking, I opted for Coconut Champagne - and it was the best drink I had in NYC. I highly recommend it, nice place for a quick snack.

My favourite NY hot dog stand. Freshly cooked dogs, with beautifully crisp bread rolls with great toppings, sauerkraut, relish, onion, mustard and a fresh papaya juice, as a recession special price. Perfect !!!

Classic chaotic New York experience: when you first entered there was a homeless man getting in everyones face asking for money. Then a family ordered about 25 hot dogs all customized different ways. After holding off the homeless man for 20 minutes I finally ordered a hot dog with ketchup, mustard, relish, grilled onions, and sauerkraut. Then I got the papaya drink which was like a soda smoothie. Not really worth the experience but classic NY!

Quick and easy and pocket friendly. However the hot dog is a little bit too salty. Papaya King is really better, but you get what you pay for here at Gray's.

Some of the best dogs in NYC. Love them because they are so crispy. We get them with the brown onion gravy not the white raw onions, the sweet relish and mustard. OMG YUMMY!!! Lots of spaces for stand up eating right outside as well or across the street at the park. Great food, great vibe, great music. Had a blast there on a Thursday night from 8-10 pm. Piano player from 6-9 then another one from 9-midnight. Then stays open as a fun club until 2 am. Club Acme is downstairs from 10 to 4 am. You must dress up A LOT for both places. Drinks are $20-$27 and food varies a lot. We posted photos of all the menus with prices so you can see how much because they do not say online. Loved the hamburger and loved the Gundi which is gnocchi made with ricotta cheese. Desserts are super great and the smoked salmon app was HUGE. $99 twice baked potato was worth every penny!!!

They are supposed to be New York's best hot dogs and with that idea in mind maybe you are expecting something spectacular. They are just regular small hot dogs like the ones you could buy in a food truck on the street, but they taste good so you are nor risking getting bad quality ones! They are also cheap, although I'll say again: they are small, so if you are super hungry you will need a few of them! They have their own drinks and I personally wasn't a fan, they ate too sweet. Piña colada was better though. They don't have space to sit down, but there's a square by the place with few tables. So if you are in New York and want to eat hot dogs, good choice! I wouldn't come all the way just for this, but we were near by.

Went here because of Fools Rush In Didn’t disappoint! The hotdog was freshly cooked and great. I wanna say a little overpriced for hotdogs it’s a small serving but definitely tasty. I’m not a hotdog connoisseur so I’m not the best to review on taste. Worth the trip tho! Yayyyyyy

Nathan's? Nathan's?? Gray's Papaya makes a much better hot dog. Do yourself a favor skip the long lines at Nathan's Coney Island and make the trip up to Gray's Papaya. If you like hot dogs it is worth the trip wherever you are coming from I often bring out of town visitors here to give them a taste of NY, every single visitor has loved their Gray's Papaya dogs. Central Park or Lincoln Center are not far from this location so they would make nice locations to walk off your hot dog feasts...

This iconic UWS spot is as amazing now as it has been since I first visited over 30 years ago.. The employees take great pride in delivering an unforgettable Gray's Papaya experience. A solid 10/10. Thank you for being so Great!!!
