I can't swear that we actually ate at 11. But I'm kind of OCD about traveling, and I have everything scheduled to the last second, so if I say, "Lunch at 11," then that's when we eat because otherwise, we'll have to wait until dinner... It's kind of a joke, but hubby really loves for me to take charge of vacation plans because I pack a whirlwind of activities into our time at whatever location we choose to visit. Usually he picks the place and I make the itinerary. It works for us.

Last summer we went to New York City in July for our 28th anniversary. Tom's cousins had a family reunion which he wanted to attend, so we did that for a couple of days, and then turned ourselves loose on the city. One of our activities was a food on foot tour of the East Side. It included a stop at Papaya King.

Papaya King is an 85 year old hot-dog chain, kind of an iconic landmark in New York, although this one on 3rd Avenue isn't the original. The steps in the front are known locally as "The Stoop." We sat there to eat our dogs and to rest our dogs as well. Walking in NYC is not for sissies!

I just read that they're tearing this structure down to build a 7 story office building. Kind of makes me sad since it was a REALLY good hot dog, but I'm sure that they'll find another location and open a new spot.
