Lonely Planet review for Al’s #1 Italian Beef
The original location of this local chain might not be the place to grab lunch if you want to get off your feet – there are no tables, only a stand-up counter – but the legendary namesake sandwich is a favorite of Hillary Clinton (who ordered some for her 50th birthday party). Piled high with savory beef that soaks through the thick bun, this inexpensive treat is one of the city’s culinary hallmarks.
