David Simmons, the owner of Uptown Juice Bar has been in business for more than 15 years in New York City. He has established two successful vegetarian restaurants in lower and upper Manhattan. His business continues to receive acclaim for its holistic approach and education of healthy vegetarian living.

Everyday serving sumptuous vegetarian cuisine with soy protein, gluten’s flavored to taste like fish, chicken, duck and assortments of (20-30) vegetables along with brown rice and other holistic starch dishes top off your plate. We are also known for our fresh baked non-dairy desserts such as coconut cake, fruitcake, danishes and muffins.

Vegetarian pizza, fish and turkey burgers along with veggie wraps are quick meals to go. True to our name we prepare over 20 fresh juice combinations for simple colds, acne, arthritis and high blood pressure to name a few. We have mid-size seating in the back of the restaurant. In addition, this establishment offers catering services.

Today, say the words "Papaya King" to a New Yorker and hot dogs and fruit drinks will instantly come to mind. Papaya King has been called by Zagat the "best, cheapest (stand-up) lunch in the city", and a "must visit" highlight of any trip to New York City. Critic Ed Levine of New York Eats calls it the "best hot dog in the world." Over the years, Papaya King has become a tradition with local residents, tourists, political and business luminaries, and the jet set of New York society. Papaya King represents the ultimate in quick dining -- stand-up fare and ready-made juice drinks enjoyed as you rub elbows with all walks of people. Papaya King stands for inexpensive fast food made from all-natural products and the store provides a nostalgic visit to old New York.
