Best Hoagie Places Open at Night

Does anyone have any recommendations for places in center city/south philly for getting great hoagies after 8pm? The best places (Paesano's, Chickie's, etc.) all close before I get home from work.

    Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I tried both Cosmi's and Old Nelson over the last few days. Cosmi's was very good. It will definitely be the place I hit up for hoagie after work. Old Nelson was very good, too. Great to have some options other than Wawa and Subway.

      Cosmi's is open until 9pm. They deliver too.

      Not on the same level, but the hoagies at Old Nelson are actually pretty good... not great but they scratch the itch much better than Wawa.

        Thanks, barryg! I haven't tried either yet. Both sound like what I'm looking for and are close to home.

          Cosmi's is great, with the caveat that I haven't actually had one in about a year.

            Came here to make the Cosmi's call - glad to see it was taken care of by barry.
