Papaya Dog is the universal fast food joint for everyone leaving a bar or club in the Greenwich Village neighborhood. It’s democracy in its greatest and lowest forms all wrapped up in a gelatin casing and served with mustard, ketchup, onions or ‘kraut at no additional cost.
I can’t believe you came here because you wanted to eat a hot dog. Something has gone terribly wrong in your life and here you find yourself sampling the chicken tenders, or the chili cheeseburgers, or heaven forbid, the chili cheese hot dog. You must have the intestinal tract of a coal furnace. There’s no way that human beings were created to digest the food served here, and that is why I always find the illest part of humanity at the counter.
So here’s the million dollar question… What the eff is inside a hot dog and why do they taste so damn good? The world may never know.
