Gray’s Papaya and UGG will give out free hot dogs in NYC on July 4th

Uptown stalwart Gray’s Papaya has been griddling up one of New York's best hot dogs (both a la carte or as that iconic Recession Special, with two crispy-skinned all-beef Sabrett tubers and a medium tropical drink for $7.50) for half a century. And to celebrate the 4th of July in NYC—the most hot dog-loving day around—the franks franchise is partnering with Ugg to give away free hot dogs during the holiday weekend.

On Friday, July 4 and Saturday, July 5, Gray’s Papaya and UGG—which is festively fêting the return of a beloved UGG colorway, Mustard Seed (get it?), now in a new Goldenstar UGGBraid Clog silhouette (no, we're not entirely sure what those words mean either)—will be giving out gratis frankfurters throughout New York City, starting at noon until they're gone.

Hungry hot dog lovers can find the on-the-house links at Gray's Papaya's 72nd Street flagship (at 2090 Broadway) as well as at a collab hot-dog cart in Brooklyn's Domino Park on July 4th; or head to the UGG Soho store located at 79 Mercer Street, where another cart will be parked outside on July 5th.

Now, for the important caveat: Though the promo events are free and open to the public, you will need to sign up for UGG Rewards to get the complimentary hot dogs, which does seem a small price to pay for a great wiener.

“Partnering with Gray’s Papaya, an iconic New York institution, brings the launch of our new silhouette in Mustard Seed to life in a way that’s both nostalgic and fresh,” Tracy Paoletti, vice president and general manager of Ugg North America, said in a statement. “Available for the whole family, this limited-edition drop of our Goldenstar and Goldencoast Uggbraid Clogs celebrates everything Ugg stands for—bold self-expression, unexpected style, and cultural connection.”
