Fodor's Expert Review Gray's Papaya

$ Upper West Side Breakfast

It's a stand-up (no seats) or take-out dive, but yes, limos often stop here, too, for the legendary hot dogs—they are fresh grilled on a flattop and delicious, and quite the economical meal, even when they're washed down with the eponymous papaya drink. The ongoing recession special is two grilled hot dogs and a fresh fruit drink for just $6.95, and cheap breakfast offerings include the quintessential egg and cheese on a roll. Credit cards can be used for orders of $10 or more.
