Midtown Lunch

I think I mentioned once or twice over here, sometimes I want a sandwich (or other handheld food) that borderline grosses me out.

See, The Stockyard, this mozzerella stick topped burger, or this hotdog stuffed, pastrami topped knish.

So while looking at menus of diners in the area, I saw that Tony’s on 21st by Ranstead has a doozy. The “King Vasilios Triple Decker Club” is a cheesesteak along with all the ingredients for a BLT. The name makes no sense to me; there is nothing Greek about a cheesesteak or a BLT. Perhaps some sort of Tony’s inside joke.

The club ($7.95) is split in to 4 mini double decker sandwiches. The steak meat was very thin, and not amazing or anything. Even still, there was the bacon, lettuce, and tomato that is always satisfying, just with added meat. And yes that does mean mayo + cheesesteak in the same sandwich. I didn’t mind. It came with coleslaw and a pickle.

Tony’s also does breakfast things, salads, burgers, and other sandwiches you would expect at a dinery/deli type place. It has sort of a rundown look to it. There are tables inside and one outside, but your view will be of a parking lot. Take out may be the way to go.

Tony’s, 17 S 21st St (Btwn Ranstead & Ludlow St), 215 972-8203
