Carl's Steaks brings some brotherly love to the Big Apple, sharing
Philadelphia's most renowned culinary (and perhaps cultural)
contribution with New Yorkers. This Murray Hill neighborhood staple
(there's also one in TriBeCa) is perfect for late-night noshing (open
until 4:30 am on weekends) or for fulfilling any craving for greasy
goodness. Though a veggie sandwich, a low-carb cheese steak platter (no
bun) and chili cheese fries are available, the draw here is the
substantial hoagie roll topped with sliced sirloin, grilled onions and
cheese. American and provolone cheeses are available, but the processed
Cheez Whiz is the legit way to go. Mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes and
lettuce are add-ons.
"Carl's Steaks takes the prize, not only for its obscenely great
cheesesteak oozing with the unholy trinity of chopped meat, Cheez Whiz,
and onions, all barely contained by a grease-thirsty roll, but for its
spot-on ambience."

"Hoagie perfection is all about the bread ... [and] the
firm, fresh buns make Carl's cheese steaks taste like something you'd
nosh between visits to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell."
-
Time Out New York " ... The sandwich comes as close to the original as anyone ever will on the East Side of New York."
