Info
The Cheesesteak Half Marathon
There are four Olde City Cheesesteak locations in NYC. They serve good cheesesteaks. They have a good deal on a beer/shot combo. The route betwixt them is 13.1 miles. We are going to travel to each location by foot and consume a cheesesteak and beer/shot combo at each.
The Route
The 201 8th Ave location opens at 11am. The starting gun is the first shot we take.
A cheesesteak, beer, and shot must be consumed before moving to the next location.
Order of locations:
- 201 8th Ave
- 576 9th Ave
- 1664 3rd Ave
- 66 Madison Ave
North/South progress through the city should be near a body of water. Mainly for vibes, but also to make it 13.1 miles.
The 66 Madison Ave location closes at 2am (kitchen open until close), so we gotta finish by then.

The Cure
A pretty good band out of Sussex. We take a lot of inspiration from their work, so this race goes out to them.
As they say in their 1992 chart-topping hit, Friday I'm in Love:
"Always take a big bite. It's such a gorgeous sight to see you eat in the middle of the night. You can never get enough, enough of this stuff."
Really makes ya think.
Do I have to buy a shirt?
No, but it's gonna be hilarious when we all pull up in these
