LEBANON STREET MARKET
298 Lebanon St. Malden, MA 02148 (781) 388-9066/ (781) 324-9251
You can probably guess from the name that this is a neighborhood store, one which
unfortunately has no seating but has the best cheesesteak you'll find in New England, and
it's about 10 minutes from Boston. Go at lunchtime & you'll run into all the
contractors, firemen & other blue collar, hungry boys 'n girls-usually a good
indicator that the food is good. Not a purists' philly cheesesteak (they use a fresh twist
seeded roll) all the sandwiches are overstuffed & made to order, the cheesesteak is
mound of succulent steak, brimming with just the right amount of grease & juices,
smothered with choice of white american or provolone (sorry, no cheez whiz, but you can
always ask!). BTW, we did make it to a few of the places listed on your site, and here's
what we thought-
Jim's (4th & South)-cool atmosphere, more social dining than great sandwich, kind of
cheap with the portions (probably b/c of all the movie starlets who dine there complaining
they can't finish). Larry's (by St. Joseph's)...Belly Filler fed 2 people, quality seemed
better than Jim's. If you are up here & looking for a sandwich that big (locally, a
'spuckie'), you can fight thru Big Dig traffic & on the far end of Broad St in
Downtown Boston is a place called Al Capone's-never had the steak there, but anything I've
ever tried is HUGE, delicious and cheap-1/3 pizza (considered a slice!) ~$1.50, subs no
more than $5, and fresh prepared pasta with choice of sauce & toppings sold by the
pound, ex Baked Ziti, Ravioli, etc. ~$4/lb Anyway, if you're up here & jonesing some
good steak, check out Maplewood-you won't be disappointed :-)

LEO'S HOUSE OF PIZZA
Newburyport, MA
Leo's House of Pizza in Newburyport has great cheese steaks (comparatively speaking). It
is located at the rotary (3 traffic circle -if you take State Street away from the water,
towards Rowley you will run into the circle).

QUICKIES
Locations in Springfield, West Springfield, Chicopee, Ma.
There's a small chain of take-out places here in the area around Springfield,
Massachusetts that has the best, authentic Philly Cheesesteaks I've found anywhere in New
England. The name of the chain is Quickies and they've won numerous readers' choice awards
for their food in the annual "best of" issues of the local weekly entertainment
newspaper. They also have Buffalo wings, Ribs, and BBQ chicken as well as all kinds of
"subs" (forgive them for they know not the holy word "Hoagie") and
other sandwiches.

SANDWICH KING
361 Bridge St., Lowell, MA 01850 (978) 452-7967
I've had Jim's and Geno's in South Philly before, but unfortunately I'm from
Lowell, Massachusetts sneaking down to Philly for a cheesesteak would put a dent
in the bank account. Instead I head over to Sandwhich King on Bridge St.
a little mom and pop place for a large cheesesteak with fried onions for only
four dollars. Now that's the best deal in town!
