"Gray’s Papaya remains a wonderfully affordable and accessible staple in a city where just about everything feels increasingly exorbitant. The “recession special” remains a heck of a deal: two snappy griddled franks — preferably with onions, kraut, and mustard — and a tropical drink for $6.95, including tax. Those seeking a lighter pre-theater snack can order a single dog plus a drink (papaya, coconut, piña colada, banana) for $4.50." - Ryan Sutton
