Profile

What the Doughnut Man is to doughnuts, what the Soup Nazi is to soup, what Melampo is to soppressata sandwiches, that’s what Gary Thompson wants to be to cheese steaks—not so much a didactic monomaniac as simply someone who’s perfected his craft.

Special Discount

NYU students (with valid ID) and members of the NYPD and FDNY get a special discount: $2 off the price of a cheesesteak.

Extra
BB makes deliveries all day for orders of $9 or more to addresses in the West Village, but they also deliver beyond this area for large orders from 10am-10pm. For delivery anywhere in Manhattan there is a 10 sandwich minimum.
