ם Meat and Cheese and Bread, Oh My

New York is known for many culinary treasures, but some just aren’t our turf. Jason Santa Maria, a top-notch designer and Philadelphia expat now residing in New York, took it upon himself to find the perfect cheesesteak in New York by organizing the NYC Cheesesteak Crawl.

Although not from Philly myself, having grown up just a hop away in northern Delaware, I still know a thing or two about soft pretzels, water ice, and cheesesteaks.

So, needless to say, I spent five and a half hours last Saturday hoofing it all over Manhattan consuming heart-stopping quantities of greasy meat, cheese, and bread (and, of course, ranking them). It was epic.

And the results are in! I was glad to see that my top pick took home the gold, and even more glad because it’s approximately a two minute walk from my apartment. Oh, and they have $3 Yuengling on tap. What’s not to love?

The rest of the rankings differed slightly from my other picks, but there was still a general consensus for which spots pulled it off and which sold nothing but trash seasoned with tears and regret.

Be sure to check out the Flickr pool, and please excuse me while I go eat a giant salad.
