A popular Philly-inspired eatery has made its way to the Upper West Side.

Olde City Cheesesteaks has opened a new take-out and delivery location at 201 Amsterdam Avenue (between 69th and 70th streets). The space was previously home to DiDi Dumpling, which closed in February after opening less than a year earlier.

Olde City was founded in 2022 by Evan Stein, a native of the Philadelphia suburbs who previously operated a similar NYC-based concept called Shorty’s. The menu focuses on classic Philadelphia fare, including cheesesteaks made with bread from Calandra’s Bakery in Newark, which Stein tells us is handmade daily (and popped in the oven upon arrival to Olde City). Cheesesteak options include traditional toppings like Cheez Whiz, mild provolone, Cooper Sharp American, and cheddar, as well as specialty variations with ingredients such as broccoli rabe, garlic aioli, chipotle barbecue sauce, and mango habanero.

In addition to cheesesteaks, Olde City offers items like roast pork sandwiches, chicken cutlets, buffalo wings, fries, and salads.
