Top 5 Hot Dogs in NYC!

It’s all about the iconic hot dog of New York City. Here’s the story, many moons ago (back in the 1860’s) a German immigrant decided to sell his sausages from a food cart in New York City, the hot dog’s popularity grew over the years and now it’s evolved into probably the most recognizable form of a sandwich. Here is our list on where you can find some of the absolute best hotdogs in the big apple!

Gray's Papaya

Gray's Papaya is the perfect 'go-to' for a late night snack on the way home. Quick, and affordable - we like to get the 2 dog special with chili & cheese!

My fave is the 'Spicy Redneck dog' and Joe's is the 'Good morning dog'. Check out the phone booth... you'll gain access to the speakeasy that is attached if you know the secret code.

Papaya King

@angelahomic

The 'OG' - Papaya King had been around since 1932, in 2022 an announcement was made that the new owners of the building were going to demolish the building and there would be no more Papaya King. Shortly after this, they declared a new location would be across the street at 1535 Third Avenue but as of this date, it still has not reopened.

Billy’s Hot Dog Cart

@angelahomic

Billy! He is a New York ICON. Drop whatever you're doing and get yourself to the corner of 93rd Street & Central Park West. Regular dogs are $2 and the hot sausage is $2.50. Prices cannot be beat, service is fabulous and the dogs are the perfect 'dirty water' hot dog. Grab a few and enjoy them while taking in a view in Central Park.
