Gray’s Papaya, NYC

That picture says it all.

Not much more needs to be written about the magic of Gray’s Papaya; their last remaining stand is on the corner of Broadway and West 72nd St., and you can’t help but be pulled in by the glow of their lights and smell of grilling hot dogs if you’re in the area. Popped in last week after a night of drinking with some old friends...

The one thing that has changed though is the prices. When I moved to NYC in 1996, their “Recession Special” was two dogs with the toppings of your choice and a drink for $1.99. Now? It was $4.95 for one dog and a drink...

As always, I went with their namesake, of course...

And as always, it was delicious! The frankfurter was perfectly grilled to get that snap you expect, slathered with onion sauce and a touch of mustard, both still free.

They do charge for other toppings now, though...

(Look, I love mayonnaise, but who puts it on a hot dog? And for fifty cents?!)

Three dogs and a drink will set you back $9.95, which isn’t too bad in the grand scheme of things here in Manhattan, but I can’t help but think back to “the good ‘ol days” whenever I eat here these days.

Putting current prices aside, Gray’s Papaya is a Big Apple institution and can’t be missed when you’re on the Upper West Side. A true taste of New York!

starting the next one!

i did some Photoshop processing on this reference image to help me push the colours using the gouache palette i have.

For these, I've been doing an underpainting of big colour washes, and in gouache that can be dangerous - water will lift paint back up off the page and it could contaminate the layers I'll put on top, which is the opposite of the stark contrast I'm hoping to achieve. So after my underpainting had dried completely, I put on a thin wash of transparent watercolour ground, and I'm delighted to say it's working like magic! No lifting or contaminating or colours from the underpainting into the actual painting 🤘🤘

Fall River's Physics-Defying Hot Cheese Sandwich

"It was soft, the mouthfeel was cheeselike, it had the sharpness of cheddar punctuated by the savory Coney sauce and the pungent bites of pickle, onion, and mustard. It shouldn't have worked but it did." Fall River's Physics-Defying Hot Cheese Sandwich

I can’t always track when I learned about a sandwich down to a specific day or time or occasion or source. Some are easy–many of the sandwiches in the oft-mentioned 2003 documentary Sandwiches That You Will Like, for example. The St. Paul sandwich. The Hot Brown. Chipped chopped ham. But there are plenty of sandwiches mentioned in that documentary that I clearly already knew about, well-known…
