The Scene
This charming neighborhood pub feels a bit out of place on the touristy Greenwich Avenue drag. A mirrored bar lines one side of the cozy room, while high-backed dark wooden booths--softened by olive-colored cushions--fill the rest of the smallish space. Everyone from casual dates to groups of old friends makes themselves at home.

The Draw
The kitchen turns out a classic down-and-dirty (but not too greasy) South Philly cheesesteak and a less-than-classic Atkins-friendly wrap, as well. The main attraction comes with choice of Provolone, American or Cheese Whiz--you can argue the relative merits of each at the table--and extras include onions, mushrooms and hot and sweet peppers. The spicy, meaty wings go great with the laundry list of bottled and draft beers, served in glass mugs at sinfully low prices. The huge basket of fries, waffle or regular, is a stellar bargain, and you can nearly make a meal of it by adding chili and cheese.
