Threshold Recording Studios NYCJanuary 19, 2014Probably 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..
CompassMay 15, 2014Folks 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.”
I have had all steaks sandwiches.Best-steak club/pizza steak/classic with cheese whiz w/bacon cheese or sweet fries. My fav bar tender is James, good place to go w/friend/alone -bread from philly
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.- CompassApril 25, 2014For 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.
Creighton GreenFebruary 26, 2016Get a Philly Cheese Steak with Wiz and Hot Cherry Peppers. An order of Italian Fries or Onion Rings are a must as well.- Love the new el bistec philly w/ guaca, pepper jack cheese, tortilla chips!taste better than it looks trust me..just note it is alittle spicy
Serious EatsNovember 3, 2011Roast 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
John AMarch 28, 2015Great 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.
Wael HazzaziSeptember 14, 2014Philly steak with onions and whiz cheese is the only way you should order if it is your first time here.
BauzenAugust 31, 2011Hands 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.
Linnie DJanuary 25, 2015They 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.
Jason MorganDecember 16, 2015The 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.
Great lunch spot for a philly and a beer. Don't forget the Italian fries.
i'm here constantly. get the cheesesteak with American. that's it. you won't be sorry! if you're not a meat person, the hot buffalo chicken steak with a little ranch is to die for.
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!- Serious EatsApril 1, 2013Solid Philly-style cheesesteaks and sandwiches--we're particularly fond of the roast pork and broccoli rabe.
- Awesome beer selection even for IPA'S which they change weekly 😊
Michelle DecaturNovember 17, 2015My bf had some really good nachos. The drinks were kickn. Nice & easy atmosphere. Bartender was great.
COOLHAUSJuly 15, 2012If 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, 2012Original with whiz, hot cherry peppers and wit' onions! Delicious!!! Italian fries are also the bomb. Yeah, I said the bomb.
must say that they make a badass cheesesteak! Great beer selection and always great for Philly games (sound for the big games)
Robert AccetturaAugust 9, 2014Legit cheesesteak and roast pork. Likely the best you can manage in NYC
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!
your entertainment guidesFebruary 24, 2011Shorty'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
Kaitlyn PezikMay 10, 2015Philly cheesesteak sliders were everything i'd hoped they would be and more
Kathiria EstevezSeptember 6, 2011Awesome sandwiches and awesome fries. Sharp provolone cheese is the way to go for your Philly cheesesteak.
Colin TaberJune 19, 2011Tremendous 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, 2012There's a booth in back dedicated to take-out, so don't let the bar atmosphere throw you off
I grew up in Philly; it's all about the roll. They got em fresh and they're great! Nice work Evan & co.
CJAugust 15, 2011Make sure you get the Italian Fries! They are DELICIOUS and some of the best fries I've EVER had!
Joseph KristofferMay 2, 2012Beer and a cheesesteak for $12 ain't bad at all and there's wifi (pass: letsgoeagles).
Best philly sandwiches! make sure to have an order of italian seasoned fries!
