Gray's Papaya: a legendary New York institution

Gray's Papaya is a legendary New York institution, famous for its simple, cheap, and delicious fare!

Gray's Papaya was founded in 1973 by Nicholas Gray, a former partner of the original Papaya King. He took the famous concept—pairing high-quality, snappy, all-beef hot dogs with cold, tropical fruit drinks—and made it a fixture of the Upper West Side.

Its flagship (and now, as of 2023, only) location is a 24-hour haven on the corner of Broadway and 72nd Street. The restaurant is an NYC staple known for its incredible value, particularly the "Recession Special" (usually two hot dogs and a tropical drink for an unbeatable price).

Gray's has been immortalized in pop culture, with notable appearances in movies like *You've Got Mail* and *Die Hard With a Vengeance*, cementing its status as an authentic New York experience for everyone from students and late-night revelers to celebrities and tourists.
