How To Love A New York Pervert

There’s no better place to catch the old school riff-raff than at the 8th Avenue Gray’s Papaya. The other locations are anchored in fairly gentrified neighborhoods of the city, but this Gray’s is like something out of a snuff film. Swing by around midnight and order up the “Recession Special.” Between the shady drug dealers, the shameless homeless, and the clientele from the surrounding adult bookstores, consider yourself in Perv Central.

If you’re going to dine (can it realistically be called that?) at a Gray’s Papaya, it should be this one. Why? Because it’s in a gritty area of Manhattan, a stone’s throw from dirty old men dive bars and the pomp of Times Square. What ELSE should you be devouring with no reserve but a cheap hot dog?

Gray’s is a NYC staple, everyone must experience Gray’s. Two hot dogs and a drink for $3.50… that’s so tempting you could have some serious weight gain with that kind of temptation. AWESOME.
