NYC classic — Opened in 1973 by Nicholas Gray, a former Papaya King partner, at Broadway and 72nd Street on the Upper West Side. The counter built its name on cheap, high-quality natural-casing hot dogs paired with tropical fruit drinks, and Time Out New York ranked its frankfurter the city's best in 2006. Rising rents closed the other branches, leaving the original. Wikipedia

“Easily the best kept secret on the UWS. The sandwich is a 1-egg sandwich, but you can get 2 eggs instead for an extra buck. After dropping my change in the tip jar, that's $5 for a really decent breakfast sandwich and a coffee. Not bad at all.”
