Later yesterday, some furniture and other PD items were placed on the curb...
A look inside shows that many of the fixtures have been removed...
Papaya Dog seems as if it was here forever. However, Manhattan Sideways listed its opening in 2005.
There's a Papaya Dog still in business on Sixth Avenue (and on Fulton Street?), though other quick-serve hot dog joints have dwindled in numbers in recent years. (The circa-1932 Papaya King is still serving up the grilled franks and papaya drinks on the UES.)
While prices here inched up lately, you could still get two hot dogs, fries and a drink for $7.99 late into the night.
This corner also seems primed for development. But at this point, there's nothing official about anything coming to this corner ... for now.
