Ever since Gray’s Papaya closed, we haven’t had the heart(burn?) to even think about hot dogs — or maybe everything just pales in comparison to the churro dog we had in South Korea.
But this makes us snap to attention: Papaya King, the Upper West Side institution that opened a downtown location just a little over a year ago on St. Marks Place, is launching a food truck tomorrow.
The King’s formidable frank tanker will debut at 52nd Street and Sixth Avenue in the afternoon and will generally be parked in midtown Manhattan during the week and in Flatiron, Soho, and Union Square on the weekends. The menu is here and you can follow the truck here.
All very exciting. But guys, it’s not a proper wienermobile unless it’s in the shape of a hot dog.
