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

As a native New Yorker who now lives in Los Angeles (oy vey), every time I come home this place is a must-stop. They seem to have new management, because the quality of the food has greatly improved since my last visit. They now home-made chopped liver which is, seriously, the best I have ever had. The matzoh ball soup is still great, AND, they now have delicious flame-broiled burgers. It's always nice to have a satisfying lunch at a place that has been loved by New Yorkers long before I was born.
Pros: Chopped Liver, New York Institution, New menu items

I went on recommedations that they have great sandwiches and even ordered the tuna melt, which Eisenburg raves to be the best. The sandwish was tasteless, below average. For the taste I could have gone to a regular deli and gotten it for 1/3 of the price they charged. I was disappointed and won't return.
Pros: fast
Cons: food

Pull up a seat and have a Ruben, Pastrami, or Tuna. The best sandwich shop and can be beat. The melts can't be beat and the countermen are unbelievable. Have an old fashion egg cream, but don't forget to make them use the fountain soda. A throwback to the old days of Brooklyn. The place looks like a restaurant that has been transplanted from a local neighborhood into Manhattan. Seating in the rear and have a great cheap sandwich. Can't be beat.
Pros: Great food, cheap sandwiches, old fashioned egg cre

I was in town from San Francisco, and found myself staring at the storefront. I just wish you could get pastrami like that in SF.

Eisenberg's is the throwback to the 40's and 50's, right in midtown. This landmark, which consistently doles out excellent tuna melts and pastrami cannot be beat. They only have a few tables, but those in the know eat at the counter. I fear posting this review will bring even more people, but it's worth it. It may not be the ideal lunch spot for some, but those are people who you don't want to be around. So pull up a stool, have an egg cream and pastrami on Rye, listen to the din around you and realize again why you gotta love New York.
Pros: Tuna Salad, Great employees, Pastrami
Cons: Can be crowded
