Grey's Papaya

Gray's Papaya is a hot dog restaurant with four locations on the West Side of Manhattan, open 24 hours a day year-round. Somewhere between a street vendor and a fast food restaurant, Gray's Papaya is famous for its very inexpensive, high-quality hot dogs. The "papaya" in the name refers to the fruit drinks sold at the establishment, which include orange, grape, piƱa colada, coconut champagne (non-alcoholic), and banana daiquiri (non-alcoholic) in addition to papaya. As of October 2008, the "Recession Special", (2 hot dogs and a drink) is $3.50 and a single hot dog is $1.25, with tax included. The original Gray's Papaya was started as a spin-off/clone of Papaya King in 1973. Kevin had a dog and so did this guy from Ugly Betty.
