John's Market

This easy-to-miss, unassuming eatery is an obvious answer to the question of finding delicious, hearty Italian sandwiches and an inviting place to eat them. John’s Market has a small, yet sufficient menu, which includes a variety of Parmigiana, chicken, and sausage sandwiches, and lovely starter salads. I recommend the sausage, peppers, and onions sandwich; this basic combination of delectable ingredients, when piled generously on a fresh roll, makes for a gratifying (and very filling) meal. Savory aroma, vibrant chatter and family photos and memorabilia fill this Orange staple, which is located on South Essex Ave.

Sandwiches Unlimited

For all you Philadelphia expats who claim that no cheese steak sandwich can top those from the City of Brotherly Love, you are sadly mistaken. It is here, in this neighborhood lunchtime hotspot, that the steak is cooked right in front of you in generous proportions and topped with onions, peppers, and cheese to make a glorious feast. Plan to not eat for the rest of the day, especially if you opt for the “Italian” version, stuffed fuller with hot French fries and ketchup. Additionally, the pastrami on rye bread is nothing to scoff at nor is the locally-baked Red Velvet cake, which can be sold by the slice.
