A 27% increase? All at once? Whatever happened to raising it 50 cents now, then 50 cents later?

i saw what hot dogs consist of on the science channels (How its made) it looked like animal slurry fat skin giblets all the trimmings blended together in a blubbery yellowish paste. add food coloring, salt and youve got a meal? Bleh.

I hope they price themselves out of business. If you are drunk @ 5am this is a good deal. Beyond that, avoid this dump like the plague.

Definitely not cheap. Not when dogs are $1.50 tops at most carts.

I like how the sign still trumpets a savings of $1.

Cheaper to go to McSorely's and have a Ham Sandwich with that five alarm mustard in a mug...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! animal nitrates taste good. I only have grays like twice a year but when I do I enjoy it and what makes me enjoy it even more is that it's cheap. $4.45 is not cheap.

They're tasty, but $4.45 for hotdogs is crazy.

I don't want a movie hot dog! I want a Papaya King!

I still like 'em but WTF? Shouldn't the prices fall during a recession?

These kinds of price increases are going to test my commitment to being a Polite New Yorker.

For some reason, the hot dogs at Gray's have always tasted better to me than those at Papaya King. But $4.45 is just ridiculous.
