Gray's Papaya and UGG will give out free hot dogs in NYC on July 4th
Uptown stalwart Gray's Papaya has been griddling up one of New York's best hot dogs (both a la carte or as that iconic Recession Special, with two crispy-skinned all-beef Sabrett tubers and a medium tropical drink for $7.50) for half a century. And to celebrate the 4th of July in NYC —the most hot dog-loving day around—the franks franchise is partnering with Ugg to give away free hot dogs during the holiday weekend. On Friday, July 4 and Saturday, July 5, G ray's Papaya and UGG —which is festively fêting the return of a beloved UGG colorway, Mustard Seed (get it?), now in a new Goldenstar UGGBraid Clog silhouette (no, we're not entirely sure what those words mean either)—will be giving out gratis frankfurters throughout New York City, starting at noon until they're gone. Hungry hot dog lovers can find the on-the-house links at Gray's Papaya's 72nd Street flagship (at 2090 Broadway) as well as at a collab hot-dog cart in Brooklyn's Domino Park on July 4th; or head to the UGG Soho store located at 79 Mercer Street, where another cart will be parked outside on July 5th. Now, for the important caveat: Though the promo events are free and open to the public, you will need to sign up for UGG Rewards to get the complimentary hot dogs, which does seem a small price to pay for a great wiener. 'Partnering with Gray's Papaya, an iconic New York institution, brings the launch of our new silhouette in Mustard Seed to life in a way that's both nostalgic and fresh,' Tracy Paoletti, vice president and general manager of Ugg North America, said in a statement. 'Available for the whole family, this limited-edition drop of our Goldenstar and Goldencoast Uggbraid Clogs celebrates everything Ugg stands for—bold self-expression, unexpected style, and cultural connection.'

Anthony Bourdain Raved About This Classic NYC Hot Dog Spot
While Anthony Bourdain was frank about food practices and ceremonies he didn't like, he was also clear in expressing appreciation for industry gems. One such establishment is Gray's Papaya, one of Bourdain's favorite New York City restaurants. "When I start missing New York, this is what I miss," he famously said of the hot dog-focused establishment. In a third season episode of "No Reservations," Bourdain describes the destination as the go-to for nourishment on the cheap. "This is where I drop by after a couple of drinks or a couple of rounds of ammo for a cost-efficient, nutritious snack," he said, before recommending the papaya drink and hot dog duo. Gray's Papaya earned a reputation for reliable deliciousness and its trademark "Recession Specials" that once offered two hot dogs and a medium-sized drink for only $4.50. That price has gradually increased to $7.50 over the years and remains a customer favorite. "Accept no substitutes," Bourdain instructs on "No Reservations," before ordering two dogs with mustard, sauerkraut, and a papaya juice.

Two years later, in 1973, he launched Gray's Papaya, where customers could purchase papaya juice and hot dogs at a cheaper price than the larger brand. While Gray's Papaya once boasted several locations, only the initial flagship location on Manhattan's Upper West Side remains. There, iconic New York hot dogs are still placed in white buns crowned with ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut, onions, and relish, and toppings of chili and cheese can be added for an extra 75 cents. Additionally, breakfast specials like rolls with eggs, cheese, and meats; bagels slathered with butter or cream cheese; croissants, danishes, and donuts are also served. Juices include coconut, banana, piña colada, and, of course, papaya. For parties and hearty appetites, 12 hot dogs can be taken away for $30, or kits can be ordered online through Gold Belly, where packaged papaya drinks and hot dogs can be heated up and assembled at home, no taxi needed.
