Mmmm hot dogs…
So yep, when I went to New York, I made a stop by the infamous Gray’s Papaya. Well, more stumbled upon it and squealed with delight. I’ve seen this place all over the TV, and it’s famous for its lovely grilled beef hot dogs. Who needs a damn sidewalk hot dog when you can have the delicious hot dog with the snappy casing and the toasted bun and the spicy deli mustard? God, I didn’t even need any dang chili on it. They were so good and hot and beautiful, I wanted to cry. Maybe I was just really hungry.
I got this weird “Coconut Champagne” with it, and it kind of tasted like rotten pina coladas with chunks of coconut, so I threw that out, went and got a coke at the bodega right outside and walked down the street in sweet sweet hot dog contentment.

I was watching Die Hard With A Vengeance on TV last night, and there was a scene across the street from Grey’s Papaya! I mean, the exact same spot as your top picture. It was exciting, and I bragged to all my friends how we went there.
The icy glare they gave me was quite similar to the glare I got from the guy behind the counter when I didn’t know where to order.
