For five decades, Gray’s Papaya has been THE place for hungry New Yorkers to get their hot dog fix. And if anyone knows a good hot dog, it’s New Yorkers! Founded by Nicholas Gray back in 1973 and today run by his wife Rachael, Gray’s is still holding down the bustling corner of Broadway and 72nd Street all these years later, where folks from all walks of life, at all hours of the day or night, can grab a perch at the counter and enjoy a hot dog or three.
Gray’s signature all-beef franks are top-quality and natural-skinned, and get browned on the griddle, tucked into a soft white bun, topped with mustard, ketchup, sauerkraut, relish, chili, cheese, or pushcart-style onions in sauce, and washed down with tropical fruit drinks on tap including coconut, banana, piña colada, and, of course, papaya. It’s simple, perfect, and timeless. Generations of New Yorkers have fallen in love with these hot dogs, and for the first time they’re being delivered straight to your door!
