Midtown Lunch

While roaming the streets of midtown the other day, I noticed a cart I had never seen before on the northwest corner of Park and 49th. At a glance, it looked like just another Halal cart, but then I noticed the name – New York Philly Cheese Steak. The menu has cheesesteaks and chicken cheesesteaks at $8, but also a whole slew of Mexican offerings like tacos, quesadillas, tortas, etc. As I recently learned, you can find an alright cheesesteak on the street for $5 or $6, so the $8 price tag here leads me to believe that this might not be just another street cheesesteak. Is this place new? Has anyone tried it? Let us know in the comments…
