...Market boasts an impressive array of healthy food and unexpected late night sandwiches. The only 24 hour eatery in the vicinity, FlyBy has made the trek there many a long night, sometimes with varying success. Not the best drunk food, but try the Chicken Parmesan sandwich or the Cheesesteak if you find yourself three sheets to the wind in this Brattle Square jump off. Warning: do not screw with the random homeless people. It's never as funny as you might think, and sometimes it ends quite badly...
...have become something of an encyclopedia of sandwich knowledge. I can tell the difference between a standard French Dip and a double-dipped. I can order a Philly Cheesesteak the right way: “wit” or “wit-out” (onions). I know where the po-boy was invented (New Orleans 1929), and the most popular sandwich in America (the hamburger).

...Where to Eat There's good eating in town, too, beyond the famed cheesesteak (chopped grilled beef on a greasy roll, topped with melted cheese).

Deep down, they think he'd rather hit the executive gym for a cardio workout during lunch hour than share a cheesesteak and beer with the hourly workforce. And they ask one another, Why did he change his name in college back to Barack? What's wrong with Barry...
...Cooney: slow, muscle-bound, awed, overwhelmed. But the Phillies were Rocky. After vaulting from last place to first in their division in one year, and after being gassed by the Braves in two of the first three postseason games, the Phils got mad and even. They would not be cheesesteak cream puffs; they would be winners. The town's legendarily cranky fans answered the ''tomahawk chop'' of Atlanta admirers with the sign TOMAHAWK SCHMOMAHAWK, while the Phils summoned a very '90s street attitude. ''Beat this,'' they told the Braves, and took Atlanta four games to two. America's city...
