You'll need it for the shots/specials & won't need them for the free hot dogs, which were amazing. They've got cool merch, too. I love a good dive bar & this is definitely a spot I'm going to go every time I'm in town.

There are a list of free toppings and some toppings cost. The signs are very straightforward. This is not a sit down place. There's a place to stand and eat but that's about it.

Long ago, when I was a fresh-faced ad agency intern, I spent a summer in a dorm room at NYU. With…read moreno interest in cooking, I remember becoming a semi-regular at the Gray's Papaya located at 6th Ave and 8th St and always ordering the Recession Special: two dogs loaded with onions and a papaya drink. It wasn't the best quality frankfurter, but somehow it worked with my indiscriminate palette. Flash forward a century or so, and this is the only Gray's Papaya left in the city. Since I'm a survivor, I thought it only appropriate to take Jamie to the original flagship location and order what else but the Recession Special. Sure enough, they still offer it for $7.50. It was $1.95 when I was a child, but it's still a good deal consisting of 2 Hot Dogs (Photo 10) and a Medium Papaya Drink (Photo 9). The franks were the same as I recall, nothing special but if you add onions and pay an extra 75 cents for the chili, it just works. The papaya drink is not a fruit juice but a puree mixed with sugar and milk. It actually complements the dog in a guilty pleasure kind of way. There was a line but it moved fast. Plenty of room at the red mini-counter, so I was able to relive my youthful dining dalliance with little effort. FOOD / DRINK - 4 stars...forgive me for I have sinned AMBIANCE - 3 stars...looks the same as it did in the last century SERVICE - 4 stars...they're quick and not rude...decide what you want before you order TOTAL - 4 stars...hope it survives RELATED - Hungry in NYC?

Like most people, you probably end up here when you're trying to come to PDT. We ordered the East…read moreVillage Tots ($5.95), Crif Burger ($9.95), Elote Dog ($7.95), and New Yorker Dog ($4). While food took awhile, we were no in a rush and the employees were friendly. The crif burger and New Yorker were too basic for me, but I enjoyed the elote topping for the elote dog. The tots were a nice side to pair with your meal. There's nothing like some hot dogs and burgers before/after drinking, so it's a smart pairing being next to all the bars. Would I come here solely for the hot dogs and burgers? Probably not. But it works great together with PDT.

Divey and chill vibes. There are signature hot dogs ranging from 6.55 to 8.25 each or you can opt…read morefor a build your own hot dog. The crif is pork and beef, New Yorker (all beef) and veggie option. I did a New Yorker (all beef) $4.75 with sauerkraut ($0.75) and the Spicy Redneck which featured a bacon wrapped crif dog with chili, coleslaw and picked jalapeños. Both satisfied the hot dog craving I had. There are also tater tots and burgers available. The bread was a bit stale, hence the 3 stars and the bun split on my New Yorker making it messy to eat. The woman behind the counter was friendly and suggested I try the dog featured this month- featuring a fried pickle or the Tsunami which has teriyaki sauce and pineapples. I would stop here again if in the area, but for basic dog a cart will hit the spot.

One of the best meals you will have in Times Square! I ordered the Something Different dish, which…read moreis brisket served over potato pancakes with mushroom gravy, with applesauce on the side, and it was absolutely amazing. The brisket was tender, the potato pancakes were delicious, and the mushroom gravy brought everything together perfectly. In my opinion, this is the best dish at Junior's, trust me on this one. Tony, our server, was outstanding. He was friendly, attentive, and took the time to chat with us about Brooklyn food and its history, which made the experience much more enjoyable. Yes, Junior's is super famous for its cheesecake, but I actually lean toward three other desserts as their best: the black-and-white cookie, their Hostess cupcake-style dessert, and the super moist chocolate fudge cake. I always come back for the brisket and those desserts.

After a Broadway show nearby, we stopped by Lovely's for a meal. First up, you order at the counter…read morebefore grabbing a seat. The space is not too big with about 10 stool seats indoors and two high top tables outside. Luckily, it wasn't too busy until we left when a big party came in. I got Charlotte's Special ($9.45) with Onion Rings ($6.55) while the husband got the Double Cheeseburger ($12.65), Sidewinder Fries ($5.95), and Mexican Coke ($3.85). The food was ready quick as they handed straight from the grill to the counter. Both of the sides were hot and crispy although it needed the ketchup for some flavor. While the burgers are petite, they're satisfying and just enough with a side to pair. I liked how easy the burger was to chew as all the beef, cheese, onions and bread just melted together. Overall, solid spot for a quick meal. It's less oily than 7th Street Burger and the meal is hot and fresh as they cook it right in front of you.

I wanted the Bratwurst but they were sold out and had Hot Dog as the second choice…read more You then combine that with another item they named such as Mach Dog, Mad Dog, Calamari Dog, Chicka Dog or Holy Pluc. Those are Vietnamese pork, or Vietnamese beef, calamari, chicken, and battered fish depending which one you go for. They then add one or more of the five different spicy toppings and maybe cheese or onions as extras. Well I wasn't ready to experiment and get something I never ate before tonight and I didn't want spicy. so I went for the Hot Dog that I can customize with different toppings like Fried Egg, Cheese Milt, Avocado Slices, Fried Onions and the spicy toppings. Well I went with plain and ask for onions. I sense my night was going downhill after a long day at work but I wasn't excited with what I saw, can't help it. Maybe if they had bacon or beef chilly I would had been happier. The hot dog was OK with crispy onions. They use a thick sesame seed bun to put it in so that was a plus if you want something more filling.

The other kiosks inside are for their two other spots - the mochi doughnut and the boba tea.
