Gray’s Papaya
2090 Broadway
Get a taste of Bavaria at this historic Upper West Side frankfurter joint. Gray’s Papaya is an absolute must-do when heading back to or from all the Oktoberfest events in Central Park. They’ve got the best sauerkraut and sweet relish in town. Their dogs come on a roasted bun and you can also add a lot of different toppings to them. Many load up their frankfurt with mustard, homemade onions, or chili. The drink menu also offers tons of refreshing options. Tropical drinks like the pina colada, the banana daiquiri, and the coconut champagne are delicious. If you’re feeling extra hungry, try the recession special which includes two dogs and a drink!
