Papaya King is back after a hiatus of more than a year! The East Village/St. Mark's Papaya King location closed, and then fans of the beloved NYC iconic hot dog joint were saddened to see that the Upper East Side Papaya King flagship location had also shuttered. There were reports though that they were planning to reopen in a new building nearby. Unfortunately, these gave way to reports of a disagreement between Papaya King and the landlord of this new building, and it seemed Papaya King was doomed to never reopen.

But it was a July 4th miracle! Subtly, Papaya King reopened its doors this past weekend, and all of its fans have flooded back. Out of all the Papaya spinoff restaurants, such as Grey's Papaya and Papaya Dog, I always found Papaya King to be hands down the best one, so I also braved a scorching hot summer day yesterday to film a vid!

I'm a big fan of hot dogs, and I may have high standards living in New Jersey. New Jersey is an incredible hot dog scene, with giants such as Rutt's Hut and Hiram's Hot Dogs. In my opinion NYC does not compare to NJ when it comes to hot dogs, and my memory of Papaya King too is that it is a good but not great hot dog. But to be fair I have never had the flagship location, so we will try Papaya King together and see if it is indeed the best hot dog in NYC and one of the best hot dogs in America! After all, the connection between Anthony Bourdain and Papaya King is well-known, so perhaps I just need to try the UES Papaya King location!
