Under one name or another, this old-school lunch counter has been frying eggs and frothing egg creams on the same site, across from the Flatiron Building, since 1928. We went behind the scenes at S & P Lunch, a Depression-era luncheonette long occupied by Eisenberg\u2019s Sandwich Shop, where generations of New Yorkers have dined. <\/p>\n
Of the three or four dozen things to eat at S & P Lunch, most are sandwiches. The classic sandwiches on the menu \u2014 like the tuna melt, of which they make as many as 400 a day \u2014 look as iconic as S & P itself. Almost everything is served simply, with a pickle on the plate or between the bread.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not that simple, inexpensive lunch places don\u2019t exist anymore,\u201d Pete Wells wrote in 2022. \u201cThey do, but they tend to be chains, and they almost never offer the particular urban experience that you can get at S & P. There and at a few other surviving relics, you can sit down and rub elbows with strangers, ask one of them to pass the ketchup. You\u2019re somebody, because you\u2019re at the counter, but you\u2019re anonymous. You can join the conversation or eavesdrop, depending on your mood.\u201d Read his full review: https:\/\/nyti.ms\/44D1Z41<\/p>\n
