"Papaya King might be gone forever. For the next best thing, head to Gray’s Papaya. Truthfully, the Sabrett dogs here taste like they do at most other places, but the food is only part of the appeal. The main reason you come to Gray’s is to bathe in 1970s nostalgia while you lean against a counter and eat a sub-$10 meal that consists of a few tubes of pork on soft buns overflowing with sauerkraut. It’s not officially summer until you get some foil-wrapped food at this UWS institution." - bryan kim, willa moore, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
