Time to clarify: This review is of the Papaya King on St. Mark's Place, which is relatively new. Thanks to its tourist trap location, it's much flashier than the venerable no-frills version on East 86th Street and features the extensive menu seen here. The one on East 86th Street is basically just hot dogs with chili, cheese, sauerkraut, and relish ass topping options, fries, and drinks, and it's also considerably cheaper than the St. Mark's Place location. If you want the variety, go for St. Mark's Place, but if you want it no-frills and real, stick with East 86th Street. And, from one who lives in NYC, there are fewer junkies harassing you at East 86th Street, which is always a plus.
Hey bros, I'm from Brazil, answering your questions: 1-I've been to Papaya King and I loved it! 2-(Idk if it's 2..) Chili-Guacamole-Onions topping! 3-Try Five Guys!
I was born & raised here so yeah, I've hit up a Papaya king or two back in the day, but Grays was the place all my friends used to eat at, 'cause it was closer to my high school back then!
Lifelong New Yorker here. Never messed with Papaya King. However, Gray's Papaya that used to be on 8th St was the spot. It was on the same block as Fat Beats, where your boy Jin used to sling his early mixtapes. You cop some Hip Hop records at Fat Beats then go into Gray's real quick for a hot dog before heading back into the subway. Great times. RIP Grays on 8th and RIP Fat Beats. Fuck gentrification.
agree with greys as a real new yorker, but I guess it's a trend to listen to tourists about where to go to in ny instead of where a real new yorker will go to.
I first heard of "Papaya King" from a "Seinfeld" episode where Kramer randomly got the munchies for it, and missed a movie night with Elaine and Jerry.
This place is seriously the best hotdog in NYC. I come here often. I always get the "Side On Top" and the slaw dog with a papaya drink. I could seriously eat like 6 hotdogs at this place because they're so freaking good!
I am born and raised in NYC. OMG I ABSOLUTELY LOVE PAPAYA KING. I always get two hotdogs with mustard and a mango drink. You showed me hotdogs I never even knew they had.🇵🇷😍
I mean seriously Andrew and David, yall gotta make a video about ur workout routine. I dont believe after all the fungbros food episode, yall can still keep good shape like how u guys are right now.
Man I was gonna go to Papaya King on my NYC food tour but I was just too full that I had to walk by. I'll be sure to try the Bullseye on my next trip up there! Thanks guys
I worked at the Costco hotdog stand for years and would still agree with you. Go inside and they are the Hebrew National franks in the cooler section. I can still smell the hot dog water 15 years later.....
I didn't get the fascinations New Yorkers had with hot dog. It has to be one of the unhealthest foods along with the high sugar juice. Well, New Yorkers are not known to be healthy since they are so diverse and ate all those ethnic foods., like pizza, pastrami, rye bread, ectc. You young fellows are going to feel the garbages eating now when you get older. Joseph Levy
which we had that here in the uk , im a filipino kid and loves food like that there acc sound bomb and seems you can eat after school for like a couple of pounds
looks like you didn't have the front and onions. But since your around St. Marks, why don't you guys check out crift dogs. I won't go into details, just check it out. You won't forget it.
You're mostly out of luck when it comes to fish and chips in NYC because it just isn't a "thing" here. The only way to get good fish and chips is at one of the better Irish pubs, like Molly's Shebeen, or at the British-run Chip Shop.
If you're visiting America, come to New Orleans for meat pies, they are a big thing down here. And, of course there is the fresh seafood. They have pretty good fish and chips at The Irish House on St. Charles St.
~Never even been to NY so... ~~Id like try deep fried green tomatoes on a dog tbh ~~~Something that´d be cool to deepfry as a nice dessert snack? banana slices that´ve been frozen and dipped in chocolate
This place kept me alive when I was working at a bad job during college.
I haven't even finished watching the video. Had to pause because I got so hungry
trust fam Im CHEEZED
Same
Im CHEEZED dog.
likewise
Totally feel ya. So good

Why don't you cut the hotdogs in half so you can both try them?
Honestly
Prob because they're trying 14 hotdogs xD
Probably, they've already tried all of them before so eating hotdogs in half won't make a difference :p
But that's like 14 hot dogs btw 4 people? Still a lot of hot dogs. I really hope they don't throw the food away.
Or they don't care about each others spit
i watch all of your food videos! good to enjoy the experiences in other courtries

You guys actually make me laugh. So fun! Loveeee seeing NYC eats!
Let’s all get together and support Grays Papaya King that has been around forever. Two hotdogs and a drink for cheap👍👍😀😀❤️

They just closed, they had great fries.
Yeah fuck bringing better job, money and education. You're right.
+TheDailyGaul how does ruining grays papaya bring better jobs more money and education? You gave no context as to what you were saying kid. Stfu
He said "fuck gentrification". That's enough context.

How about fish and chips? I'm sure there is a good place somewhere in New York.

Haha....next you'll be wanting a meat pie 😁
If you're visiting America, come to New Orleans for meat pies, they are a big thing down here. And, of course there is the fresh seafood. They have pretty good fish and chips at The Irish House on St. Charles St.
