People watching is a big attraction in any large city. Some of the best people watching in New York comes with some ideal cheap eats. Stand at the yellow Formica counter along the window at Grey’s Papaya across from the 72nd Street Subway station at the corner of Broadway and, as you chow down on your Recession Special–$4.95 for an ice cold drink and two hot dogs with sauerkraut and a red sauce that isn’t exactly but something better than catsup–you’ll have an eyeful of New Yorkers rushing to get where they need to go.
The hot dogs are juicy, salty and sweet. I always get the pina colada for my drink but you can also order frothy cold cups of orange, pineapple, banana daiquiri and papaya.
