James’s Restaurant Guidebook
My Favorite Restaurants
Here are some great options if you're conflicted with all the choices in the city!
The way locals order is with two words:
-Type of cheese (American, Provolone, Whiz)
-With or Without grilled onions.
For example, I order a cheesesteak by saying "American Without!"
