Eisenberg's Sandwich Shop

Eisenberg's Sandwich Shop Review

Since 1929 this narrow coffee shop with its timeworn counter and cramped tables has provided the city with some of the best tuna-, chicken-, and egg-salad sandwiches. On chilly days Eisenberg's classic matzo-ball soup also really hits the spot. The lively and friendly staff use the cryptic language of soda jerks, in which "whiskey down" means rye toast and "Adam and Eve on a raft" means two eggs on toast. Considering the mayhem in the place, it's a pleasant surprise that you always get your meal, quickly and precisely as ordered.
