.plattypants visited Papaya King to pay his last respects
Papaya King’s famous facade, as it looked in 2010. Photo: James and Karla Murray from their book Store Front II: A History Preserved If you read the papers, then you know that Papaya King, the colorful little counter that created the template for other Papayas that have populated the city over the decades, is facing demolition after an impressive run of more than 70 years on the same corner of 86th Street and Third Avenue.
The Poulos family cashed out their stake in the operation a while back, and ownership has changed hands a few times since. When I read that Extell — the developer responsible for any number of glass towers shooting up in Manhattan and Brooklyn these days and the current owner of the parcel of land on which Papaya King resides — had filed plans with the city to demolish the building, I realized its days are numbered.
“They say a hot dog takes three weeks off your life, but I maintain it’s worth it,” said a nattily dressed gentleman named Jeff who lives in Westchester, he revealed, but has been coming to Papaya King for decades.
