Editorial Review for Eisenberg's Sandwich Shop – by Adam Rapoport

In Short
Of all the diners and coffee shops in New York, Eisenberg's--which dates back to 1929--is among the most classic. Paper-capped cooks and fast-talking waitresses serve reliable favorites like pastrami, corned beef and tuna salad on rye. Check the limited evening hours before planning your meal.

After reading the reviews, I decided to visit Eisenberg's, as I was craving a pastrami sandwich. Well.....this was the best pastrami sandwich I ever had, and I have been to most of the so-called "pastrami palaces". It wasn't too lean, nor to fatty. Just perfect! Although the decor looks like it hasn't been updated (or cleaned) since 1929, so what! I also had a vanilla egg cream and some rice pudding, which were also superb. Best of all, I’m only 5 blocks away. Thanks Citysearch!

Pros: The food that I have tried was excellent, and at a great value!

Cons: Old decor, not spacious, noisey

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

My first visit to Eisenberg's won't be the last. I joined a couple of friends on a Monday morning before the start of a crazy work week and enjoyed pipin' hot coffee and an awesome toasted bacon-egg-cheese bagel. It's a complete throwback to a bygone era that my generation has gentrified (not that there's anything wrong with that). It's a place to enjoy the service, the food, and what it stands for... hard work and a full stomach. Looking forward to being back!

Pros: Inexpensive, Friendly, Authentic

Cons: Older
