Probably the best wings and cheesesteak in NYC! Salads and more. Great IPA's and beers on tap. It's right up the block- 41st and 42nd on the east side of 9th Ave. Catch up on all the days sports..

Folks say that the Shorty’s serves the best Philly cheesesteaks in the city because their bread comes straight from the City of Brotherly Love. But most just say, “wit wiz.”

The best cheesesteaks in the city and place to be for Philly sporting events. There are several locations around the city, but this one is the OG and sings the Eagles fight song the loudest.

Love Shorty's. Great cheesesteaks and great beer. They have an excellent happy hour and it's just a couple of blocks from me! Great place to watch sports.

For years, the south Philly-born mini chain and food truck has been delighting downtown and late night dining crowds -- and vying for the top sandwich-making spot in the city.

Get a Philly Cheese Steak with Wiz and Hot Cherry Peppers. An order of Italian Fries or Onion Rings are a must as well.

Roast Pork Special: Chunks of pork and heady layers of provolone; broccoli rabe lends the sandwich some chew and a nice bitter bite, reminding you of just how wholesome you are. Sort of. Read more

Great sandwich on torpedo style roll. Veggie combo has a nice mix of marina, spicy peppers and melted cheese, but didn't taste too greasy. Large sandwich.. Bring a friend.

Philly steak with onions and whiz cheese is the only way you should order if it is your first time here.

Hands down best CheeseSteaks in New York City. "Wiz with" is the most popular, but if you want a more unique taste of Philly, give the 'sharp provolone' a shot. It's rare finding a place that has it.

They should probably only offer cheesesteaks wiz wit because they are definitely the best thing on the menu. Do not stray. Also the crab fries with wiz also remind me of philly. Enjoy.

The Roast Pork with Broccoli Rabe sandwich was great. I wasn't sure how my kids would react to the broccoli rabe but they loved it too.

This is easily one of the best places in the city. Great people, great food, great beers on draft. If a Philly fan then it's even better!

'Shorty Special' is a must. A 6 inch cheese steak and a pint of beer from draft. Win all the way with this one. Just don't forget the Italian fries as a side!

Awesome beer selection even for IPA'S which they change weekly 😊

Solid Philly-style cheesesteaks and sandwiches--we're particularly fond of the roast pork and broccoli rabe.

My bf had some really good nachos. The drinks were kickn. Nice & easy atmosphere. Bartender was great.

If you need a taste of Philly, this is the place to go. Always opt for the cheese whiz AND Italian fries. Always.
Haley JonesMarch 18, 2012
Original with whiz, hot cherry peppers and wit' onions! Delicious!!! Italian fries are also the bomb. Yeah, I said the bomb.

If you don't order a cheesesteak you are doing it wrong.

Monday nights after 7 they serve wings for 25 cents each, minimum order of 10. Try some with a side of mozzarella triangles for a deliciously cheap dinner!

Legit cheesesteak and roast pork. Likely the best you can manage in NYC
Adu GAugust 5, 2015
HH is great! Old bay fries and cheesesteaks! Service was great too.

Shorty's cheesesteaks are to die for. Also, go before 7 and you get a shorty (6in) and a pint of ANY of the 22 beers on tap, huge win
Eric VidalMarch 2, 2015
Chipotle cheesesteak. Regular cheesesteak. Any cheesesteak is awesome.

Try the double cross vodka. Best drink in the bar, true story.
Alex NicholsonJuly 12, 2014
Best Philly cheesesteak in manhattan as far as I'm concerned!
Colin TaberJune 19, 2011
Tremendous cheesesteaks using the Tony Luke's recipe, it's bona fide. In fact that's the name the joint opened under before they remodeled into a bar.
Dan MilanoOctober 12, 2012
There's a booth in back dedicated to take-out, so don't let the bar atmosphere throw you off

Beer and a cheesesteak for $12 ain't bad at all and there's wifi (pass: letsgoeagles).

Make sure you get the Italian Fries! They are DELICIOUS and some of the best fries I've EVER had!
