As you may have heard, people are really into this truck called Phil’s Steaks which aims to school us New Yorkers on what a Philly cheesesteak should actually look/taste like. They use bread from Philly and poached some of their staff from Philly. But how are the sandwiches once you get past the hype? We’ve already gotten a take from Rachel when the truck parked in Midtown and she generally said it was good, and straight ahead are what a couple of Downtown Lunch’ers thought, as well as the menu.

I spotted this yesterday when I was walking back from lunch: One of those fruit/smoothie vendors blocking everything but the window of the Our Heros truck at Wall & Water streets. I’ve seen them both parked there before, but never this close to one another. I guess it’s nice that they learned to co exist…

Phil’s Steaks was supposed to debut in the Financial District a month ago, but instead took some time off to perfect their craft. They were on Old Slip & Front today and despite the cold and rainy conditions, a sizeable line was in effect for lunch although you couldn’t tell until getting closer as people were standing under the overhang of the building in front of the truck. I did not have time to stand in that line, but check back tomorrow for a take from one Downtown Lunch’er who did. And leave your impressions in the comments!
Get 30% Off Lunch At The Harrison: The Harrison, on Greenwich St. in Tribeca, is a little too fancy for your average Downtown Lunch, but there's a deal on Blackboard Eats today for 30% off at lunch which just might let you get out of there for about $10. You have to order either one entree or two apps per person, so you can't be too cheap.
