You can't beat the style at this tiny bar and restaurant, with big black and white family photos and red leather booths. Fortunately it lives up to its look, with food that's a cut above the usual bar fare for only a little bit more money. Favorites include pretty much anything involving cheese, including the grilled ham and cheese which comes on rye with fries, and the famous, deadly mac and cheese, which has with a side salad to mitigate the guilt. The entrees are mostly under $10 and the drinks are terrific. Insanely crowded at lunch and right after work, so try early in the week, or quarter to noon, or get a friend to stake out a table for you just as you're getting out of work. No reservations.
