"The quintessential Upper West Side snack is not a slice of pizza. It’s a hot dog from Gray’s Papaya. The iconic counter-service spot opened in 1973, and there’s always crowds of people outside scarfing down dogs. You can get a singular, snappy, Sabrett frank for $3, or go for the Recession Special, which comes with two dogs and a drink for $7.50. Wash it down with a neon-orange papaya drink, make sure you don’t have any lingering mustard on your face, and then move on with your day.
