Papaya King coming to L.A.?

Sounds like it's just in the talking stage, but the owner of NY's famous frank-and-juice emporiums has been expanding outside the city, and according to New York magazine (courtesy of Eater LA), is looking at opportunities as far west as Los Angeles. For the uninitiated, the original Papaya King opened in 1931 at the corner of 86th St. and Third Ave. At first, it was strictly a juice stand, but the German-American immigrants living nearby led to an expansion of the menu. A Papaya dog runs $1.79, which would give Pink's a run for its money.
