Wilensky's is definitely worth visiting for the nostalgic factor. Opens since 1932 and still family own and run by the Wilensky's!
And of course we need to order their famous SPECIAL ($3.90)! which is a grilled beef salami and beef bologna sandwich with mustard on a kaiser roll, pressed flat from the grill!
As the sign in the restaurant announces:
"When ordering a Special,
you should know a thing or two.
It is always served with mustard;
it is never cut in two.
Don't ask us why; just understand
that this is nothing new.
This is the way that it's been done
since 1932."
So we ended up having our own SPECIAL since it is the way it has to be and luckily I love mustard!!
The Special is great for a snack and it is so hot!! So be careful when you bite into it!
The made to order fountain drinks with quite a few different flavours: even a chocolate one!! definitely worth ordering and believe me would go well with your sandwich!
No tips necessary but if you do, it will be put into donation box for the Heart and Stroke Foundation! So do leave whatever change you want to on the counter!
