Papayas? (hot dog stand)
 

I saw this place featured on PBS's "A Hot Dog Program" but cannot remember where it is located? Uppper Manhattan?

There is one on the upper west side. I was there in April and the front was covered by construction materials and very hard to find. Great hotdogs worth looking for!

I can think of 3 locations. On the upper west side on Broadway and 72nd St, in the Village on 6th near NYU and on 8th Ave around 38th St.

Have a great time while you are in NYC!!

FYI - for those coming to New York - the upper east and west sides are not the sme as upper Manhattan. Upper Manhattan is a series of residential neighborhoods at the far tip of the island - north of Harlem - and rarely visited by tourists - unless they happen to go to the Cloisters.

The upper east and west sides are immediately north of midtown - and south of harlem - are dividied down the middle by Central Park - and are major museum, shopping and restaurant territory.

It's called Grey's Papaya, or maybe it's Gray's.

I believe the one near NYU is on 6th Avenue at 8th street.

Best $1.25 I've ever spent -- enjoy!

There's Gray's Papaya with 3 locations
Broadway and 72 (upper west side)
8th ave & 37th (just north of Penn station and just south of Times Square)
6th ave and 8th st (the village)

There's also Papaya King (which I find just as good) on 86th 3rd ave. and one in Harlem.

That should read 86TH AND 3rd ave. for Papaya King.

Isn't there also one at 23d and 7th in Chelsea?
