Editorial Review for Wogies Bar and Grill – by Erin Behan
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.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkFor a further taste of Pennsylvania, order either a Yuengling Lager or Rolling Rock on tap for $3. Both beers hail from the Keystone State.

Have tried pretty much all of the standard NYC cheesesteak places - Philly Slim's, Carl's, etc. The Wogie's cheesesteaks are much better - the meat in the Wogie's cheesesteaks is much better than the meat in Carl's. I love going there for a meal as well, nice to have a casual bar scene. The owners are always super-friendly as well. Although they are not authentic, I really like the cheesesteak wraps - a little healthier!
Pros: My favorite cheesesteaks in the city
Cons: Service at restaurant is a little slow

Let me start out by saying that I'm a cheesesteak purist... I'm VERY particular about them. Allthough they are not authentic Philly-Style Steaks, they're still good. My girlfriend had the buffalo chicken sandwitch, and that was great too, but VERY spicey. This place is good for a late night sandwitch spot, the food is good, but don't expect an authentic Philly Cheesesteak, you've gotta go to Carl's Steaks on 34th and 3rd for that!
Pros: Open late, good sandwitches
Cons: Hard to find if you don't know it's there...
