First stop this morning to get breakfast. Fast service and very quick to get massive bacon egg and cheeses and iced coffees. Proceed to the high line and have those. Perfect NYC day. read more

Chelsea Papaya - Iced coffee and bacon egg and cheese - Hot Dogs Near Me - New York, New York

Thought this would be similar to the famous Papaya hot dog but boy was I wrong. This place sits on the corner of W23 and seems to be a bit popular. However after trying the regular dog which comes with mustard and ketchup on a bun, it's not for me. They had other items on the menu besides dogs, such as burgers, fries, etc. Inside was clean and the staff was nice but I would not go back. read more

Chelsea Papaya - Regular Dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - New York, New York

Chelsea Papaya has been around for a long time. Open 24 hours on the busy corner of 23rd and 7th. Specialize in grilled hot dogs, but also saw rave reviews for cheeseburgers from a local food critic. Also offer breakfast. I had two dogs, one each w kraut and pushcart style onions. And spicy brown mustard. Price in line w Papaya King on 86th. Overall, I liked CP slightly better than PK. And Naomi Campbell (see pic) a fan. Kinda clinches it. 5 spicy stars read more

Tried the Chicago Hot dog , here ! Obviously it's not a Vienna Hotdog with a poppy seed bun ! But it will do ! It had all the works ! But somehow my bun didn't hold the hotdog . I had to used the bun as a fork to eat the rest ! I did finish my meal! It was a $6 Chicago style price , pretty cheaper than the real thing ! I sat or stood outside, since there are no seats inside ! The service was fast so no wait for my meal ! I would stick to the 2 dogs special w/ a drink! read more

Chelsea Papaya - Chicago hot dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - New York, New York

This place has been on my list for a hotdog for a long time. I have heard that they have amazing hot dogs and hotdogs are one of my favorite foods. I walked to grab a couple before heading home on the train. The building was bright yellow, and stood out. As soon as I walked in, I was overwhelmed with the space and how much there was to look at, but it was in a good way. The two gentlemen working were very friendly. The first hotdog I got was so good, I had to get a second. I stood on the side eating and watched as many people came in to grab a hotdog while I was standing there. One guy even took a picture. I laughed and told him I had just done the same thing. He looked at me and said "the phone eats first,some of the best hotdogs." I watched the two hotdog down with a Coca-Cola and thanked the gentleman. I look forward to going back and trying other things off the menu. read more

The service and food were great. Location was across the street from our hotel so we went here multiple times

Absolutely terrible experience. The hotdogs had to have been there for days just drying out. That's what they served. All 3 of us threw out our food it was not edible. The people serving us were not friendly either. Just all around a bad experience. read more

Not like Grays which is definitely a classic. Go there only if you're really hungry and there aren't too many options.

100% New York, Chelsea Papaya is perfect for a late-night hot dog in Chelsea. While the service is a little gruff, you're in and out quick with a great treat. I had a regular with mustard and sauerkraut, while a friend had the Chicago dog. If it's good enough for Naomi Campbell and Lisa Kudrow (as evidenced by signs plastered on its walls), its good enough for me. read more

I went in for a drink, I usually love there banana daiquiri (virgin) but the did have any. So I got a pina colada it was ok. But if you need a quick bite drop in and get a hot dog Service is fast and the people cool. It's a stand up quick eatery read more

I love that this place is open 24 hours. Cost wise you are looking at something around $8-10 dollars for a pair of hotdogs or, 12 and something for a double cheeseburger. At the end of the day, all said and done? Me: Why? My Brain: Just Do It! read more

Attention please! All you wandering eyes out there looking for the next best bite for your current cravings! I would like to introduce you to the smash burger here at chelsea papaya!

Look, cheap and quick with friendly service is what you get here. Are the hotdogs juicy? No, but this place will do in a pinch. I have had better dogs from a street vendor to be honest. read more

Got some food delivered in middle of night wanted to try a classic NYC hot dog - had no idea what to order and everything was so cheap so got a variety. Honestly it wasn't great , the hot dogs at seven eleven are better and that's saying something . But the passionfruit drink was delicious . read more

Warning! If your inner masochist sends you into this swill-merchant, ask the price before ordering. Look at the menu and the price first, then confirm it with the grifter behind the counter. It's not if they will rip you off, but when in the next two minutes. And if you make it through without getting ripped off, pray that you don't get food poisoning. This is an attempted copy of Gray's Papaya, but without the great dogs, sauerkraut, mustard, onion sauce and drinks. And their prices are through the roof. read more

Really great spot for a delicious inexpensive meal. Food is always great quality and delicious and staff is friendly. Always love stopping by this place whenever I get the chance! read more

Ordered some Philly Cheesesteak from this place. I know random. They were listed on Seamless as "Philly Cheesesteak Artists from the Kitchen of Chelsea Papaya". I guess they're trying to expand to other food items in order to stay afloat in this pandemic. I just ordered two things: a Philly American Cheese Steak Deluxe and Chili Cheese Fries. They ended up putting the cheesesteak and the chili cheese fries in one container for some reason and then leftover fries in another small container. Wished they didn't do that and just kept the fries and the chili and cheese in one container and the cheesesteak in the other. Not sure if this was to hide that fact that they didn't want to give me a lot of the chili cheese for the fries as that was super limited. Regardless, they were both pretty good. The cheesesteak went for about $17 and the Chili Cheese Fries went for about $9. Definitely on the pricey side of things and definitely could get this elsewhere for a lot cheaper. Would I consider ordering from this place again? I'm hesitant, so I guess that means no. read more

very honest and great food using nasty ingredients and very good price highly recommended we come here every time we come to New York and the flavor and price is always the same. Great place to bring kids too they will eat all their food don't wait go now! read more

I had a No. 1 which is two dogs and a drink and it's reasonably priced. Split it with my son. The dogs were standard. It's not the worst I've ever had but it's certainly nothing special. They are very thin hot dogs. I see lots of folks on Yelp recommend the Philly cheesesteak but my son didn't want it. Just based on hot dogs though, Chelsea Papaya is average. read more

I believe this place has changed owner. I ordered breakfast platter as billboard said $4.75, owner asked me meat? ($2,00 extra), I was being charged $5.39, food came as only a box of potato w strips of onions, no toast, no eggs, no coffee - nothing as pic. Total waste of expectation and money to an old name at the corner. read more

Good hot dog! I tried both, a simpke one with ketchup and mustard and a second one fully loaded with pickles, chilly and cheese. Both were very tasty. The chilly was a great addition so will probably go this route next time. I also had fries with cheese, but will drop the cheese next time. Their service is super friendly and fast! read more

Chelsea Papaya - Wonderful tasting hot dogs. Sometimes I like my Hot dogs with mustard only. My favorite is everything but relish - Hot Dogs Near Me - New York, New York

Terrible food. Terrible customer service. Had food poisoning bc of them. Unsanitary practices. Yuck

What the economy has subdue my living and eating habits, adjustments are a must to survive. Lunch time induces two hot dogs at $1.95 each and one deep-fry onion rings at $2.95. Heavy and fatness with greasy and high cholesterol for a once in a blue moon indulgence. Servers are attentive and prompt to respond to customer inquiries. The name, Chelsea Papaya is certainly no original spawn from Gray's Papaya. Like any Gray's Papaya there is no seating but takeout only. read more

Chelsea Papaya - 171 West 23rd Street, New York, NY @ Chelsea - Hot Dogs Near Me - New York, New York

Lets make these places great again! This is true NYC. Gritty, rough around the edges, and no frills. $2.50 gets you a decent hotdog with kraut. 3 bites if you're a cafone 4+ if you're a normal human being. In and out in less than a minute. Nothing more to add here. Hipster scum need not eat here. read more

Food is ok, but not what I'd go out of the way for. Normal dive burger spot with a small counter for eating, but mostly designed to grab and go. read more

Over charged me then when the right price was solved they charged my card again and said they voided the first charge; come to find out they didn't...terrible experience and they still owe me money...crazy insane read more

This place is exactly what you expect it to be. Solid food and quick service. Staff was friendly and got my food in about 5 minutes. I got a cheese steak with fries and it was 10 bucks which is reasonable but nothing to write home about in my opinion. Easy to order and then wait outside which is nice given the pandemic. I live nearby so i'll probably come once a week or so. Fries are really tasty with salt and pepper. read more

This place is now sucks now...when the ownership and management changed hands it went quickly downhill...they no longer use natural casing hotdogs which was the hallmark of this place...they now use cheap skinless frankfurters that are gross!...stay away! too bad this was a really good quick lunch stop place...when you walk by the restaurant you see that nobody wants to eat here anymore... read more

I've had them a few times drunk so far. In a pinch when nothing is open, it's a-okay. Sometimes, especially last week, it made my stomach churn over the next day. Trust in that it wasn't just the alcohol. My entire body just smelled. Like cheesesteak. The bread and meat tastes low quality. But was I sorry I ate it in the moment? No. It's also a bit over-priced. For two sandwiches and a really meager side of fries it came out to $20. I did appreciate the generous amount of ketchup and mayo packets. I like sauce and you just mentally got me in that moment without my having to utter a word. I also came in on another occasion sober and ordered chicken tenders and cheese fries. The man forgot my cheese fries and boy was I pissed. It's not like a real NY papaya chain, so don't be fooled. But if you're looking for garbage food in the middle of the night, either this or taco bell across the street may be your jam. read more

I am glad I got dragged to Chelsea as its a section of Manhattan I don't really visit but as soon as I notice a papaya joint chelsea seems ok. If you want greasy guilty pleasure grub which consists of chili dogs , cheese dogs , soggy fries , sugary fruit drinks, breakfast sandwiches, etc, then walk on up and have the tums ready for later on .Two chili dogs with the works, order of oily soggy fries and a large papaya tarty beverage and let the good times roll. Strictly order and go as space is built for that purpose but they have a good system here as the wait is very short . Have plenty of napkins cause them chili dogs are a messy delight .let's be honest this is not food to eat on a regular basis and I don't know if its food to eat at all but for the rare occasion once in a blue moon guilty pleasure I will take my chances regardless what my tummy thinks . read more

The fish and chips are tender and delicious in a thin and crisp batter. the best I have ever had, certainly worth a visit. T The fries were all GREAT. The steak fries seem as if they were cut there. Worth a visit. read more

Terrible service and worse food. Long wait just to end up with food poisoning. Avoid at all costs

My Review is i never had a bad expierence to be honest with u. i can honestly say that tha color drinks they have is good and tha best thing to get is tha philly cheese steak sandwich with fries and that will make u full , i remember i got that years ago and ate it right there and it was amazing . yes tha place looks small and nowhere to stand and eat but overlook that and just understand that they have good stuff . Overall would i go back honestly no , i eat healthy now and i don't want steak and beef or pork sorry , they should make a healthy menu , i'm not so sure if that will make or break them or make ppl come there more but i know 1 thing for sure if they did have healthier options i would try them out. read more

My first Papaya dog experience. Made a post-bar pit stop here en route to the subway. I jumped and skipped on the way because I love a Great Frank. This was not a great frank. Ordered a sausage with onions, imagining a lovely browned, robust juicy-spicy stunner.** Instead, out comes a boiled-lookin' spiced mini-dog with not one grill mark to recommend it, swimming in an onion-y tomato sauce. I added a Papaya drink to wash it down (as is the custom in these parts). Although it wasn't shouting with flavor, I enjoyed the combo and get why the spicy-sweet coupling has won such a following. Was still hungry after that wee dog, so went back for fries. These were the redeemers for me--crinkle cut, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and undersalted, which allowed me to add just the right amount. 1 star for the cheap! extensive menu and Papaya pairing 1 star for the late night neighborhood color 1 star for the hard-working crinkle cuts ------------------------------------------------------------ **Here I must disclose that I've been corrupted by the 5 Star/Blue-Ribbon cart sausages of downtown Seattle. Anthony Bourdain et al: when you find yourself in the Pacific Northwest, track one of these beauties down (grilled juicy, spicy AND portly, swaddled in perfectly sauteed soft-sweet onions and cream cheese on a lightly grilled bun. Make DAMN sure you request the cream cheese!) They may ruin you for Papaya dogs, but I promise you will shout and sing and line-up for a third. read more

Not the papaya for which N.Y. is known the world over. NY papaya is to be encased in linked casing. Skin free is not going to cut it. The hot dogs here would be okay anywhere else outside of the city limits, but not up to standard for a papaya joint in Manhattan. Sorry if I seem overly harsh. read more

Great hot dogs and papaya juice. The prices were right and the lines moved very quickly. I will say it is not the cleanest looking place in the world but for what it was, it was quite good. Would never use the restroom in this place. read more

The food is good but it's expensive. 10 dollars for a bacon egg sandwich and cup of juice. That's insane.

Open late ,very late.I've been there after 2am. Love the dogs and the fruit drinks. cheep too, under $5.00 for 2 dogs and a drink. Just do it your in New York... -simon read more
