These are hot dog joints in NYC, both offer basically just hot dogs and fruit juices. I had the pleasure of trying both in rapid succession while on vacation.

My method was one hot dog, half with mustard half plain. Then two juices; one papaya juice (at both) and the other pina colada (at Papaya King) and Banana Daiquiri (no alcohol at Greys Papaya).

The clear winner was Greys Papaya. The hot dog was better; better 'snap', better flavor, cooked better/more (prefer a more 'well done' hot dog). The juice was also better; both papaya juices were just "OK" IMO, papaya is not my favorite. But the Banana Daiquiri at Greys Papaya was sooooooo good.

The combination of a hot, spicy (not hot spicy) hot dog with ice cold fruit juice is very enjoyable to say the least. There are probably better hot dogs in the city, but I really enjoyed these places and the food/drink.
