    Gray's Papaya - Hot Dog with Ketchup, Mustard, Relish

    This is my second time coming to this classic NY spot, and it was just as good as the first!…read moreOrdered a couple hot dogs with a drink combo which came out to around $7.50 ish. The hot dog sausages weren't out of this world but they were great and you can't beat the value you are getting. The toppings were fresh and tasted amazing. I'd recommend getting them with mustard, kraut, and onions. The highlight was the pina colada though! It was super refreshing, rich, and really complemented the hot dogs well. Some people say this place is a tourist trap but imo it's well worth the visit, just make sure you order your hot dogs the right way (no ketchup or relish), and get one of their awesome drinks.

    Full disclosure: I'm a tourist and I don't claim to be a hot dog connoisseur but I enjoyed Grays!…read moreIt might not be the perfect but it's iconic (I first learned about it from the movie Fools Rush In) and well loved. They're super freaking efficient so even we walked up to a long line it moved so quick. We got two dogs and a drink for 7.50 and you get it dressed how you want. I really liked the sauerkraut. You can pay .75 for things like chili and cheese. The buns were soft. The dogs seemed a bit small but it's a great snack. The unexpected MVPs were the juices! We got one pineapple and one papaya and they were so tasty!! Sweet but not overly sugary. Our favorite is the pineapple but I would try the papaya too if you can. They have standing tables outside.

    Like most people, you probably end up here when you're trying to come to PDT. We ordered the East…read moreVillage Tots ($5.95), Crif Burger ($9.95), Elote Dog ($7.95), and New Yorker Dog ($4). While food took awhile, we were no in a rush and the employees were friendly. The crif burger and New Yorker were too basic for me, but I enjoyed the elote topping for the elote dog. The tots were a nice side to pair with your meal. There's nothing like some hot dogs and burgers before/after drinking, so it's a smart pairing being next to all the bars. Would I come here solely for the hot dogs and burgers? Probably not. But it works great together with PDT.

    Divey and chill vibes. There are signature hot dogs ranging from 6.55 to 8.25 each or you can opt…read morefor a build your own hot dog. The crif is pork and beef, New Yorker (all beef) and veggie option. I did a New Yorker (all beef) $4.75 with sauerkraut ($0.75) and the Spicy Redneck which featured a bacon wrapped crif dog with chili, coleslaw and picked jalapeños. Both satisfied the hot dog craving I had. There are also tater tots and burgers available. The bread was a bit stale, hence the 3 stars and the bun split on my New Yorker making it messy to eat. The woman behind the counter was friendly and suggested I try the dog featured this month- featuring a fried pickle or the Tsunami which has teriyaki sauce and pineapples. I would stop here again if in the area, but for basic dog a cart will hit the spot.

    Wait a second. So gas…read more We got the Single Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger, Patty Melt, and Onion Rings. Get the double patty over the single. The double patty tastes better. Juicy flavored patty. Best onion rings I've ever had. Somehow not too oily and flavored perfectly. A big reason for the five stars. Amazing service. Everything is cooked in front of you. Great spot to end the night.

    After a Broadway show nearby, we stopped by Lovely's for a meal. First up, you order at the counter…read morebefore grabbing a seat. The space is not too big with about 10 stool seats indoors and two high top tables outside. Luckily, it wasn't too busy until we left when a big party came in. I got Charlotte's Special ($9.45) with Onion Rings ($6.55) while the husband got the Double Cheeseburger ($12.65), Sidewinder Fries ($5.95), and Mexican Coke ($3.85). The food was ready quick as they handed straight from the grill to the counter. Both of the sides were hot and crispy although it needed the ketchup for some flavor. While the burgers are petite, they're satisfying and just enough with a side to pair. I liked how easy the burger was to chew as all the beef, cheese, onions and bread just melted together. Overall, solid spot for a quick meal. It's less oily than 7th Street Burger and the meal is hot and fresh as they cook it right in front of you.
