1. $100 Cheesesteak at Barclay Prime
237 S. 18th St.
Philly cheesesteaks are great because they're a cheap, quick and dirty combo of everything you'd ever want in a steak sandwich. Stephen Starr's Barclay Prime offers a dramatic remake that is anything but. Crafted with kobe ribeye cut down with foie gras and dressed with truffled homemade fontina cheese on a sesame roll, this splurge will set you back a whole B. Franklin. The Dom Perignon that comes with your order is free, however. #savings
