Papaya King is the city's best hotdog, Nathan's is second best. You could switch the two. Feltman's is for transplants, hipsters, and millenials i.e. people who automatically don't know what good NYC food is.
Seriously, Feltman's open their first location in Manhattan in 2016 and suddenly they're "the best hot dog in the city"? Johnny Come Latelies. PK and Nathan's have been holding it down for DECADES. What holds them back is unambitious owners as both could EASILY rule the hot dog cart scene if they got into it.
"... transplants, hipsters, and millenials i.e. people who..." are younger then me.
Just because something is old doesn't mean it's good. Look at how long water has been around, compared to how long Fiji water has been around.
I rest my case.
IMO Gray's is better than Papaya King. Papaya King has better juice.
Yes, Papaya King has the best juice. I always get the Tropicana apple juice
Fiji Water better than NY tap? Getouttahere. Cold NYC tap water on a hot day is the nectar of the gods, and it doesn't need to to flown and trucked tens of thousands of miles to get here.
I rest my case.
God, that Kingsley piece sounds just like a press release. And the purple prose--"when she gives herself a moment to bathe in those bathroom tiles..." (WTF does that even mean?)
The last mound of dirt was just shoveled on the grave of the Village Voice. RIP.
