Papaya King! No! New York is no longer New York! It’s one corporate mess
I emailed Mr. Beast and Pewdiepie to save this restaurant!
I totally agree....money and greed...greed and money. It would be great if they could deny the permit.
I know its asking a lot but I hope they can save it.
New York is such bullshit now. All the small stores can’t make enough money to stay open. Remember Canal jeans? . All the real ny stores are going away one by one. We have too many fake New Yorkers. Midwesterners coming here causing a lot of change. They walk around trying to be real native New Yorkers, but they will never be one of us
This is a tragedy. NYC is slowly killing family run business
Dont know if its the same there, but here in the netherlands you see one by one the small and family owned businnesses are picked off one by one and replaced with businnesses owned by multimillion dollar companies..the pattern is concerning
It used to be called the big Apple now it is the Rotten Apple
naaahh its been that for decades....oh u mean in the most literal sense.....smh yeah maybe
These real estate companies are ruthless,
Soon there won't be small food shops anymore.
I went to high school in Manhattan and those 50 cent Frank's and Papaya juice were lunch 90% on the time.
Lived on the Upper East Side back in the 1980s - loved Papaya King - would stop by at least twice a week to get a hot dog and a Papaya juice drink - it was dinner for me!
back then and in the 90s it was a legit destination in the area. now its kinda like every other strip with the typical stores of now...its got no spark. In those times it did tho
I am originally from the NYC Bronx area now living in south Florida.
It's truly sad and angers me that so many famous historical and iconic places throughout the boroughs are disappearing!!
Here's an idea, instead of destroying part of NYC's history, why don't you just move the restaurant to another location in New York?
Also, Papaya King's hot dogs are absolutely DELICIOUS!!! I can go for a couple of hot dogs right now, too bad I live in south Florida!! 😢😭
Maybe they should move to Florida.
Why did you disappear from New York?
Ouch and ouch
Real estate agents do a lot of “steering” which is flat out lying to you by increasing market price and blaming it on property owner when it was all intentionally done by their corruption & greed.
@@latinolawdog5067 Job relocation
Damn that sucks, all of the things that made NYC notable are disappearing, between the rising crime and businesses closing down I can say in my opinion NY is dying.
Controlled demolition
@@lukecastle2538
Just like the twin towers
I'll never understand why owners of Papaya King didn't just buy this building from their Landlord & instead allowed it to be sold to a 3rd party. That was/is a dumb move. New Owner should build what he wants & allow them to come back as tenants when building is constructed.
Started happening a couple years after the 2008 crash and never stopped going downhill since then
Nyc has been dead
My dad used to take me in the 70’s as a kid.
Used.*
@@TERRENCEJJR thank you!
@@Luke8-17 Holy shit. Holy shit. I correct grammar on RUclips all of the time. It's kind of a dick move but whatever, I try. I get person after person chiming in to defend the offender, writing "it's only RUclips" or the like. They call me a "grammar Nazi" and challenge my happiness and whether I'm fun at parties lol. The offending party is stubbornly proud in their ignorance every fucking time. Not once has someone simply thanked me and corrected the mistake. Not that I need thanking but still.... I'm also aware of the fact that many people are multi-lingual which makes it very difficult to master all of them. Especially in N.Y.C I'll bet you speak at least a bit of Spanish as well if not as your primary tongue? Anyway "used to" is a funny one, if you write it correctly you're in the minority, which is nice. Somebody somewhere is judging your vocabulary, grammar or speaking skills. A potential mate, a future employer some jerk on RUclips. It's important so good for you. You're welcome and have a great day.
How do you demolish an institution? People need to petition for it to be recognized as a landmark
The city can get more taxes from a new development that’s why . It’s always about the money.
@Lost Key I'm sure you would do the same thing if you had a large tax bill upcoming. I know I would. Cash out and avoid the sudden increase in costs going forward.
Nothing new, here. Just following the closing of Gray's Papaya and Papaya King on West 8th and West 72nd Street respectively. Sadly, just another sign of the times. Greed, unfortunately, rules that city. Anything "mom & pop" or "Bohemian" must make way for another corporate entity to establish its presence.
THIS IS BREAKING MY HEART, MY 1ST JOB WAS AT PAPAYA KING!! I WAS 16YR OLD. THIS IS A BIG PART OF MY CHILDHOOD, EVEN BEFORE I WORKED THERE. I REMEMBER WOOLWORTH USE TO BE ACROSS THE STREET & MY MOM WOULD GO TO WOOLWORTH AND WHEN WE FINISHED SHE WOULD BUY US ALL HOTDOGS 🌭. SUCH GREAT CHILDHOOD MEMORIES... I WAS JUST THERE A FEW MONTHS AGO. IM REALLY GOING TO MISS WHEN THEY GO!!😢😢😢😢
You're "NOT NEW YORK" if you don't know about PAPAYA KING! This hotdog eatery was the ULTIMATE life of delicious hotdogs and their awesome drinks! I'm actually surprised they've lasted this long. Thank you for the delicious food! Forever will be great memories! 😊😍🌹👍
Been in new york my whole life and I've never heard of this trash
Like we need a another apartment building every open lot they throw a building there.
Overpriced condos, destroying businesses, high levels of debt, U.S outsourcing jobs to third world countries, the American dollar on the decline...The U.S. dream is dead, the U.S empire is slowly fading away.
Damn NYC will never be the same. The Magic is gone it’s been gone
Truer words have never been said, man. I sit home sometimes and just think of places I've not visited for some time, and have the desire to take a trip to. I "Google" them, and more often than not, they have shuttered and are long gone. Like dust in the wind. It saddens me immensely. 😣🌬🌪
well hold on now we still got KATZ delicatessen
A New York icon getting torn down for a spoil rich condo. Pathetic....
How man more fucking LUXURY apartments can one city have? Jesus Christ.
I'm sure they can find a place to re-open... it's not as if the concept has to close if the site is redeveloped.
It’s being in the same spot since the very beginning it wouldn’t taste the same anywhere else…
@@elincognito2135 Thats nonesense. Stuff like that is in your head. They can take all their grills and stuff wherever and it will taste the same. Ive had these hotdogs and juice many times. I lived a few blocks from here for years. Its good but theyre just grilled hotdogs at the end of the day.
You must be on the Board of Directors' for that development company...SMH.
You totally miss the whole concept. 😔😒
@@stefanmarchione6757 Yeah I wish... no I get the concept that people are trying to say. Something about tradition blah blah blah. I just don't buy that tradition has to take precedence over progress.
@@chrisbruggers8076 What progress? Does all of New York City have to have huge, modern, high-rise multimillion dollar structures to be successful? Do we all have to live in a "Amazon" warehouse?? Or can we have a mix of new & old which, in essence, actually gives NYC it's edge & unique flavor? 👀🤔 I guess we'll all soon have these stunning "new" developments; just sitting there idly...and vacant.
To the many drunk nights on my way home .....papya king never let me down
It should be a considered landmark
If this place is gonna close.. there's no hope for any restaurants. All the properties are controlled by billionaires, and they charge way too much rent. There's little hope for small businesses.
Dammit!!! First Grandpa's, that Deli that created the best corned beef sandwich and now Papaya King. I've never even been to one. Last time I heard of a Papaya King was referenced in the Sopranos. I thought they were already gone.
Luxury apartments complete with crime thru the roof smh.
I gotta go to this place soon.
There's actually quite a few of these papaya hotdog spots all over the city. But this one right here was actually legendary. 72nd Street is another legendary location. But you have one on 23rd street, West 4th street, 14th & 1st Ave, the one on 14th street & 7th Ave closed like a year or two ago and the one on 40th & 8th Ave may be closed now too I think. But they are all slightly different too. The one on 23rd operates like a full on restaurant that cooks many different things besides hotdogs but they are more expensive, the one on 8th Ave has cheaper prices and way better papaya, the one on 72nd just gives you major nostalgia. Some of these locations could disappear and not be missed but 86th street is one that will because we've all been to that spot and experienced it.
1st Ave and 14st and 8th Ave and 40th are permanently closed
@@peterwelbyYeah I just seen the other day they had closed 8th Ave. That was one of my favorite spots. I didn't know 1st Ave shut down too. That's sad to hear.
This one on 86th is the original and all the others have copied they're style. Here's another vid on the history ruclips.net/video/TSoT0qGT2-o/видео.html
Damn, once the papaya dog places start to go, it's over folks....Pack your shit and leave.
Give that reporter a raise 😂😂😂
This is a sad day. That is an important part of nyc. Wow!!!
Definitely going to my pay respect!
To see places that make nyc-nyc are being redeveloped for expensive purposes is heartbreaking. It really seems nyc is being built up off greed instead of saving the essence of what makes nyc-nyc. I moved to dc yrs ago and when I visit home..it doesn't feel like home anymore smdh
Well if mfers stood in their own states instead of coming to NY and “try to make it” things wouldn’t be like this…
The mayor has a lot to do with this
One thing they teach you in Journalism school is not to eat a hotdog or banana on camera..This guy must have skipped class that day...
😂😂😂😂
probably wasnt his 1st
I'll be taking a hot dog, drink & photo here this week before the greedy Property Owner demolishes this landmark eatery.
My mother took me here while growing up in the Bronx
Does this city really need more luxury apartments? Like come on, man.
I never understood how these businesses do not buy the location. Ive always told all my business owner friends,buy the property.
I'm surprised it lasted this long. It is a single story building in one of the richest areas in New York City. And a recent built subway line.
Home of the .50c franks… Use to ride from Brooklyn to Manhattan just for franks
Facts. I used to o take the D train from Fordham Road just try p get those franks. This generation doesn't know about that, calling them "glitzies".
Still got Grays papaya on 72nd and Broadway.
No!!! That was my favorite spot.
The Gutting of New York City, New York!
That's crazy man I don't know the reason why it's closing down is it because nobody wants to buy it is it because the owners can't take it anymore. We losing all of these stores that we seen growing up. On new investors just because we don't want to invest on our own childhood stuff wow
It's an ok hot dog lol. Will def miss this place. It's just always been there glowing in the night.
There are additional locations all around NYC
So they move to another location. There are plenty of vacant properties in NYC.
Vacant and affordable are two different things.
Wow used to go there as a teenager in the 90's back when u can go to the city wit $10 and have fun
Man this is a tragedy. Took my wife here for the first time a month ago now this. Nothing like papaya
there are papaya kings or copies @ West 4th Street (ACDEFM trains) also 7th ave & 23rd Street (1 train)
Their hot dogs rule!
Never heard of this store.
You gotta get out there now and then!!
there's always the Frank and Juice Spot on 72nd Street and Broadway
Always passed by it, but never tried it. Im gonna have to go now
I really wanted to go here one day just because one of my heroes Anthony Bourdain said it was one of the best places in the world and I'm really sad that I won't get to do that
Yorkville, if this place closes, I’ll blame us all.
When is the last day it’ll be open?
I hear last Sunday in October
This is just heartbreaking yo.....
Oh how exciting a new luxury building ….
Did it really close?
They said they were going before years ago - didn’t realize they stayed
Hot dog w/ mustard and a orangeade.
Build another one for what most of them are half empty
I went to the one blocks from 34 st Nathan Coney Island only close competition
Mannn that was the spot
But the one at 72nd street is still open..
Mans eating glizzys on tv 🤣
😂😂😂😂
So? Are you that fragile that you’re questioning someone’s manhood over eating a damn hot dog?
@@gsel3309 I’m trollin if ya couldn’t tell🤣 who tf cares 💀💀💀
no worries. it's not a business problem. it's just a land problem in that one area, so papaya lives on everywhere.
Just relocating to a better spot,there are for rent signs all over Manhattan!
Been going there since I was a good
1/3 of all commercial retailers shut down in New York City right now work from home has change the retail landscape forever and the crime well it's near APOCALYPTIC so you tell me who's going to want to live there
😪 the coconut juice, this place should be a landmark
sad, this place is a staple of nyc culture.. like Juniors, Peter Lugers, Mamasushi's, Pizza zoo, etc.. nyc we just lost a legend
Carnegie Deli, The Ziegfeld theater, now Papaya King. NYC is losing its landmarks slowly but surely.
Go to Grays on the west side.
Wow! Sad!
Could they not relocate?
So sad 😞
in the future every 20 floors or below building no longer exist being replaced by 50+ story units is just the result of over population and prime real state just go to brooklyn high raises are being put up each year where small buildings used to be🤷🏽
Fk as a lover of hotdog I can’t believe I didn’t know about this.
Memories of grabbing hot dogs and a drink after clubbing and smoking..and yes they were great.
🌭👑R.I.P. Papaya King👑🌭🧡💀
Those were some good times😩✨
Unfortunately this generation don't even or want to care, they think it's all about them--- Ungrateful generation
Wow
I don’t remember ever being sober when I ate there. Xx
You can't eat there when you're sober, the smell will kill you before the greasy salty flavor does 🤢
@@jaiquanfayson1099 I totally agree with you. Mad sodium. I think Gray’s Papaya was more popular with the recession special? Eh. It’s the same thing. Lol xx
@@damelalana I just learned that they're two different stores. Thank you 😂
@@jaiquanfayson1099 Lol!!! Me too!!! I attached a briefing of its history below. Papaya King was the original and Gray’s was an offshoot.
Is Gray's papaya and Papaya King the same?
During the early 1970s Papaya King dabbled in franchising in NYC and a non-company store opened at 2090 Broadway on the corner of 72nd Street. In 1973 owner Nicholas Gray closed his Papaya King and reopened as Gray's Papaya; the two stands have had a rivalry as fierce as that of the Mets and Yankees ever since.
@@damelalana I emailed Mr. Beast and Pewdiepie to save this restaurant!
Now way... wow... Manhattan is definitely dying...
Their hot dogs 🌭 will send you straight to the bathroom
But The Old Shitter, Biden doesn't even need hot dogs.
This is extremely sad.
Been going since a kid! The fu.. these fucking developers! Ahhh!
Nyc is just one sephora and then whole foods. And that's it.
The first chance to crack the bank
They try me, all they get is 50 cent franks
And papayas, from the village to the tele - Jay-Z " Ain't no nigga"
damn New York City you taking out all the old school restaurantswhat's the reason for it really
WE BORN .WE LIVED. WE DIE .
Why can't they move to a new location?
It's a resteraunt
Oh Noooooooooo
None of them sound like true new Yorkers 😆
say it aint so!
This is why you must own the land like Mcdonalds😢😢😢
I Loved there Tater totes Supreme omg this will be missed.
😢
