Papaya, The Aristocratic Melon of the Tropics

Lick your lips. We’ll be back!

On Sunday, June 27th, Papaya King—New York City’s original frankfurter and tropical drink haven— is taking a much needed Mid-Summer Break. For 78 years we’ve been in the same location serving our famous frankfurters, tropical drinks and smoothies to native New Yorkers and visitors alike.

During the Mid-Summer Break, Papaya King’s landmark location on 86th Street and 3rd Avenue is undergoing renovations. There’s no denying that the frankfurters and juice drinks will be missed, especially by Alexander Poulos (35-year Papaya King veteran and nephew of Papaya King founder Gus Poulos). But he’ll be working day and night to help reopen the doors and welcome you back, in addition to taking the reigns on Papaya King Television 

While we take a break, all you frank and drink lovers can hang out on our website—if only we had something like this back in 1932… Lick your lips. We’ll be back!”
