We're thrilled to welcome Olde City Cheesesteaks & Brew to the neighborhood at 66 Madison Avenue. Founded by Philly native Evan Stein, who has been serving up delicious cheesesteaks since 2005 at Shorty's, Olde City is Stein's new and unique concept.

Offering authentic and specialty cheesesteaks, Olde City celebrates this staple dish that is synonymous with Philly right here in NYC. Olde City's menu has a little bit of everything from shareable appetizers to craft cocktails making it an eclectic spot for lunch or dinner. With bread shipped in from Philly and baked in-house every hour, along with beer on tap from local breweries in Pennsylvania and New York, dining at Olde City's has an atmosphere that will make you feel like it's your City too. 

To start, order a few appetizers great for sharing such as the Buffalo Cauliflower Bites with sides of chimichuri aioli & spicy honey, Hot or Mild Buffalo Wings with blue cheese or ranch dipping sauces, and the Real Deal Philly Pretzel with a side of whiz & spicy brown mustard. For a main dish, try an OC Authentic Cheesesteak, with your choice of steak or chicken steak, Whiz, American, Provolone, or Cooper sharp cheese, and pepper add-ons. Enjoy a Signature Roast Pork or Chicken Cutlet Sandwich topped with housemade broccoli rabe and sharp provolone. Savor a Specialty Steak or Crispy Chicken Sandwich like the Mango Habanero, Sweet Chili, or Bacon Jam. Or, try a Classic Hoagie like the Italian with mortadella, genoa salami, capicola, pepperoni, and provolone.

Olde City also has vegetarian options such as the Veggie Combo Sandwich filled with broccoli rabe, sweet peppers, mushrooms, fried onions, cooper sharp cheese, and served with marinara sauce on the side. Also, order salads like the classic Caesar or Arugula with parmesan and cherry heirloom tomatoes tossed in a lemon vinaigrette. 

Compliment your meal with a craft beer on tap or a handcrafted cocktail like the gin-based Clover Club (1917), whiskey-based Nouveau Noir, or rum-based Well Deserved Punch. For dessert, end with a slice of Salted Caramel Cheesecake or a Chocolate Chunk Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream.

"After searching for a home base for several months and exploring different communities of Manhattan I finally settled into the Flatiron district and I feel right at home," says Dr. Scrivano. "The vibrancy, the creative spirit, and bustling dynamic of the area were all characteristics that stood out to me."

New Moon Healing's integrative approach to wellness and healing offers clients' individualized services tailored to one's needs. Whether dealing with physical pain from an injury, joint soreness, headaches, stress, digestive issues, among other concerns, Dr. Scrivano will work with you to develop a unique treatment plan. Once focus issues are identified, clients may start with a combination of therapies from acupuncture to strength training to promote phased improvement and healing.

To start, individuals will have an initial consultation where Dr. Scrivano will evaluate a client's breath work, functional movement, myofascial bodywork, joint mobilization, and strength & mobility so so they may better understand their mind and body before creating a treatment plan.

Acupuncture treatment may be combined with cupping, guasha, and moxibustion, all additional tools to help promote circulation and reduce inflammation that may be a result from an individual's muscoskeletal condition. For chiropractic treatment, Dr. Scrivano emphasizes movement as an important therapy method through strength training, mobility work, and rehab for both a client's recovery to being pain-free and maintaining optimal function. Herbal medicine may also be incorporated into a client's care in an attempt to ease stress, digestive concerns, dermatological conditions, and other areas.
