"Max’s is easy to spot. They have a massive bold neon sign out front and the scent of sizzling beef luring you inside. But it's the foot-long sandwiches with gooey provolone that will keep you coming back. A cheesesteak at the North Philly spot only costs $11, and while they have a few options like pepper steaks, chicken, and mushroom, there’s nothing better than the version loaded with onions and tangy pickles. These things have so much meat, you’ll just have to assume the bread is somewhere in the pile. They're also open until 1am on weekdays and 2am on the weekends, so this is a good move after a night at Lou & Choo's or Clock Bar." - candis mclean, alison kessler
