Get Shorty's

Shorty's hides in the No-Man's-Land strip - on Ninth Avenue - behind The Port Authority Bus Terminal - serving real Philly Cheesesteaks and Beer - its worth finding - 

Not a pretty place - its a long bar and eight or nine four seat high tops - in the back is the cherished take-out window - behind which is the kitchen - and - a phone and fax machine - the conduits for orders for delivery - 

When Shorty's originally opened - I'm going to say five years ago - the bar was short and the tables were low  - and - more numerous - the take-out window was exactly the same - it was not an inviting space - but one wandered in - to be treated to a taste and sensory sensation - 

They appeared to close - after about a year - mourned by a small fan base - as there was no notice of renovation - 

Reopening after a few months -  Shorty's assumed its present form - pushing out the same great Cheesesteaks - adding 22 beer lines - more signage - more flat screen TVs - practically wallpapering the bar - 

The menu includes - steaks - chicken steaks - roast pork cheese steaks - burgers - real philadelphia italian hoagies - and all the sides - 

My choice - I've order this every time I go in - Cheesesteak (thinly sliced sirloin) with American - plus Fresh Roasted Sweet Bell Peppers - plus Fresh Sauteed Mushrooms - lets just say - its intoxicatingly delicious - passed on the in-house Fresh Bread Baked Every Hour yesterday - no worry - still great - 

Enjoy -
