Let other starving diners waste hours in the interminable line waiting for a cheesesteak on South Street. Because you know about Alyan’s and their amazing fries.

The tiny 4th Street eatery sprinkles them with hot peppers and a few spices they won’t divulge, jalapeno peppers and thinly sliced onions. Then they dip the whole batch into the fryer where they bubble around in vegetable oil until they are crisp — that kind of golden-brown-with-just-the-right-amount-of-oil in them crisp. Sprinkle them with just a little salt, spear your fork into the fries/onion/jalapeno combo and voila, you are in fry heaven.

Even the small order is a huge serving “” big enough for two. So if you don’t want to do too much caloric damage you can get them as part of the lunch special”"fries, falafel sandwich and beverage for $6.50.
